This first freshener has my heart as the last doe kid from Verbena, and the mammary is proving to excel right in her footsteps. She's a growthy 2 year old with nothing but promise and maturity to go!

Grande Ronde WLM Tayla

Tayla is another strong performer from the Mikhail line that shows us a tremendous mammary with production to match... as well as impressive dairy strength, depth, and capacity. She was milking through in 2021 but really caught my eye coming into this 2022 freshening. She is a descendant of the Wingwood "T" line and as many of her predecessors carries a sizeable frame. Tayla is not a doe who searches for loves or cuddles but a hard working no nonsense sort of lady who always has a strategic spot at the feedbunk and in the parlor! She was not appraised in 2021 as she was bred and dry at our fall session.

​This milking yearling is a promising young doe with some fancy general appearance and a flatness of bone that says she wants to stay in the show line up.

Emalisse is the product of a well known dam line (Dam Emma is full sister to Iron-Owl Flying Dragon) and an exciting AI for us. This 3rd freshening 4 year old looks to only get better as she matures in body capacity and depth. She has the mammary shape and texture to be highly competitive as well as beautiful breed character, width and flatness throughout.

This doe exhibits the incredibly flat topline like so many Woest-Hoeve bred does along with the udder texture and mammary capacity of her lineage. She  possesses beautiful Nubian breed character in addition to being flat boned and dairy. This doe needs an updated picture as she has matured beautifully. Senna is bred to Blissberry Make It Rain for May 2022 kids.

This sweet lady came to us from Washington State spring 2020 and can show everyone in the barn what it means to milk! Her lactation was cut short in 2020 as we experienced a horrific fire season and needed to make some drastic cuts to the show milk string as we made room for an emergency situation.

This is just simply a gorgeous doe!!
Well grown and correct, Daphne
earned her dry LEG at the TVDGA show in Homedale, ID in 2010. Daphne earned
her second LEG as a milking doe at the R.D.G.A 2013 show in Roseburg, OR under
judge Timothy Flickinger. She has earned her third LEG at the 2013 Union County Fair under judge Tracy Stampke. Daphne has an extremely capacious mammary system that holds a large volume of milk without losing texture or quality of fore udder attachment. Her general appearance and high appraisal score confirms that she is showing many of the qualities I hope to pass on in the herd. 


Daphne was bred to Redwood Hills True Cairo for April 2021 kids. This will result in American designation kids but we choose to embrace the quality of offspring we see resulting from Cairo regardless of American designation on papers.

Verbena held a special place in this herd as my 10 year  old son Tanner's doe. Verbena has been such a fun doe to show! To start off her 2013 show  season Verbena was reserve CH in 3 rings with tough competition at the Syringa show in Boise. At the R.D.G.A show in Roseburg, OR she had a spectacular show, placing Champion Nubian under judges Dakota Darst and Patricia Ricotta finishing her permanent CH status. She was also Best Udder of Breed under all four judges: Dr. Lauren Acton, Timothy Flickinger, Dakota Darst, and Patricia Ricotta. Verbena then won BEST UDDER IN SHOW under Timothy Flickinger, Dakota Darst, and Patricia Ricotta. A great finish for a beautiful sweet doe with amazing lateral attachments.

Teasel is another Wingwood addition that we are beyond excited to see in our barn. Teasel shows an exceptional ability to hold her milk steady through late lactation, even after travelling and moving herds. Her milk production and components landed her solidly as the premier Nubian production award winner at the 2015 ADGA National show.

Teasel is geriatric and will be bred for Fall 2021 kids to hold condition and make winter easier on her.

Alyssum was simply a very exciting doe for us. She combined a smoothness throughout, beautiful breed character, an incredibly level rump and a capacious well attached mammary.  Her untimely death in 2020 was tragic and a blow to the herd but we are fortunate to have been able to quickly recover oocytes. 

Alyssum was IVF crossed to Blissberry Rock Hard. All embryos are frozen at this time.

​Marigold is a 5 year who really caught our eye as a 3 year old. She is showing a beautiful general appearance combined with body capacity, depth, and production. Marigold stood second in her debut show at the Union County Fair amid lovely competition. She placed 3rd at the 2016 Western Washington State fair and has since spent her career working hard at the dairy. Marigold has an outstanding daughter (Grande Ronde LSH Sweet Alyssum) currently in the show string.  


Marigold was flushed IVF for ET babies by Blissberry Rock Hard with 9 resulting offspring April 2020. She will remain dry in 2021.

This almost 8 year old gets stellar general appearance from her SGCH dam Daphne. Pictured here as a 3 year old she has deepened out and stands on beautiful feet and legs. I am pleased with her width from chest floor all the way back through the thurls and hocks. Danae was 3rd in her 3 year old class at the Oregon State Fair and paired with her dam Daphne placed first in the Dam/Daughter class. 

​This doe is truly a standout in the geriatric pen and her peak show days were a casualty of our intense commercial expansion and personal lack of time to get out. She's a knockout with 2 upcoming daughters in the show pen by Lakeshore Vin's Belluomo. 


 

Grande Ronde DRD Snapdragon                               DECEASED 2021

While you will never see this doe in the show ring due to an aggressive mastitis in her first lactation as a yearling, Snapdragon is a doe worth noticing. She is a powerful large bodied doe, yet feminine with plenty of breed character and style. She has been stingy with daughters but her October 2017 kidding by Woest-Hoeve Royal Fortune allowed us to retain a single doe kid in Grande Ronde Lucky Senna.

Daria is one of our grande old ladies who currently resides in the retirement pen. After producing quadruplets spring 2019 it is still being determined whether to breed her for 2020.  Daria was pictured here as a 2 year old but now is a much larger doe showing superior depth and strength throughout. She is wide in the chest floor and carries that width all the way back. She has a well attached, nicely shaped mammary with a smooth fore and capacious rear.

This doe was near and dear to my heart! Part of the orginal Autumn Glory family herd she is a granddaughter of CH  Sugar Lane's Sweet Lily, our original dairy doe in   4-H. Willow moved from  Illinois to Arizona to Oregon with me. After a difficult kidding in 2013 Willow never fully recovered. We spent a year trying to make her thrive again but with a weakened immune system and coming on 10 years of age I made the decision to put her down. She was a large, powerful, deep bodied doe  with an absolutely gorgeous mammary system. She was extremely capacious and wide  in the rear. She had a strong suspensory ligament and as a an almost 9 year old still retained top production and mammary quality. Willow  was Champion Nubian Sr. Doe at the 2011 Syringa show in Boise as well as Best  udder of Breed under judge Chuck Pederson. She was Champion Nubian Sr. doe at  the 2011 Lelia Berry Memorial show in Central Point, OR in both rings  under judges Rachel Conway and Patricia Walker.
