I love the Goodwood lines and the Kowaliks of Lost Valley have combined those lines with other top lines to produce some really outstanding show and milking animals. Seminole's dam, Sundancer, has that long, stretchy "Goodwood" look, combined with a beautiful and productive mammary system with plumb, easily-milked teats. His sire, Tae-Boe, already has some finished champion daughters.  

Seminole himself is very powerfully built with a near-ideal front end assembly, long, level topline, good width throughout from his chest to his high, wide open escutcheon, and great feet and legs. These traits are all evident in his offspring, many of which have earned junior legs, and some even Best in Shows as junior kids. 

Seminole is the sire of Wonder Witch, Evanescence, Abracadabra, Kissimmee, Isabella and Night Orchid.

As Sunshine approached 11 years old it finally occurred to me that with all she has accomplished in her life: finishing her permanent championship in both AGS and ADGA, winning AGS National Champion at 10 years old, earning two Best in Show wins, appraising Excellent at 11 years old, and still maintaining near perfect feet and legs and a high, tightly attached udder, that I should really keep a herd sire out of her!  Meteor is very long, stretchy, tight-shouldered, great feet and legs, and tops it off with his surprising random black and white coloring and a sweet as sugar temperament. 

Meteor is the sire of Ladies Maid and Maid of Honor.

Another excellent outcross for us, bringing back in one of favorite old herdsire lines, Goodwood Weisbaden, and tons of general appearance and dairy and breed character.  Ginseng excels in breed and dairy character. His first kids are here - twin does out of Madam Butterfly. They are stunning.

I love Simon! He's very upstanding with a lot of bone, long, wide, level, great rear leg angulation and has a sweetheart personality.  His dam is a small, correct first freshener with a lovely mammary system with excellent MSL and teat placement. Interesting combination of proven bloodlines including Stonewall's Raising Arizona, Far-n-Best Suzuki *D and MCH Doe C Doe. 

Simon's first kid crop is here and they are gorgeous! So dairy and stylish, with beautiful heads and great rear leg sets. Very pleased. 

Pecan Hollow C Total Eclipse 

DOB: 02/23/09  19" at 8 months

Sire: Pecan Hollow SFB Constantine 

(Twin Creeks BW Sanfranciscobay *S  x Pecan Hollow Creme-D-Mint)

Dam: Dill Pickle LB Constantine

(Lost Valley BDC Little Bear x CH/MCH Dill Pickle LT Gothika)

New! 4-generation pedigree here.

I went to Pecan Hollow farm to pick up Safari (below), and Eclipse's dam caught my eye so much I just could not go away without one of her boys. Constantine is an extremely long-bodied, elegant and correct doe with a snugly attached udder with good MSL and large well placed teats. One of our most influential herd sires, MCH Bay Watch, is on both sides of this pedigree, as well as MCH/GCH Gay-Nonpareil and the lovely, many times Best of Breed winner Gothika. His paternal half-sister is our gorgeous Rockin' Robin. Eclipse should be an udder buck as well as passing on the outstanding general appearance and dairy character that is deep behind him. 

Obviously these weren't the pictures I set out to get, but he wasn't having anything to do with his formal photo shoot. We'll try again another time.

Pecan Hollow C Safari

DOB: 03/01/09   15-1/2" at 8 months

Sire: Pecan Hollow SFB Constantine 

(Twin Creeks BW Sanfranciscobay *S  x Pecan Hollow Creme-D-Mint)

Dam: MCH/PGCH Pecan Hollow Savannah *D

(Twin Creeks AA Purple Heart *S x Shady Meadow Miss Scarlet)

New! 4-generation pedigree here.

This is the kid I went to Pecan Hollow to get initially. I have long admired his dam Savannah, who was the 2004 NDGA National Champion Senior Doe. A small doe, she is very correct with a near ideal mammary system with excellent MSL and teat placement. Savannah traces back to one of our favorite does, Yuletidetreasure, who we lost to cancer several years ago. I'm glad to bring that line back in. Safari looks like he's going to be a very small buck, so he may become our "downsizer" as well as giving us the udder characteristics that are important to us.
