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.

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.
Danae is confirmed bred to Redwood Hills True Cairo. Resulting offspring will have American Designation.

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.
