Despite the cold and rainy weather, I attended the NWODGA event on Saturday to showcase my Saanen juniors, as well as a junior Lamancha. I also brought one milker, Alder*Rose Nav Shahar, my favorite 2-year-old, who is a truly spectacular young doe that I'm particularly proud of. We earned a junior leg on Alder*Rose Nik Terrorist, maternal sister to Shahar. Additionally, we earned a junior leg on Alder*Rose Total Recall, littermate sister to our herd sire Alder*Rose Thunderstruck, available at Blue Mountain Genetics, both of whom are offspring of GCH Alder*Rose New Italian Rain 4*M, the 2025 ADGA National Champion and Best Udder, sired by ++*B Companeros Cascade. Thunderstruck's three daughters in the herd presented well, garnering four first-place wins. Alder*Rose Sholto Travato, daughter of our other Saanen herd sire *B Alder*Rose Sholto, was Reserve Junior GCH. The Lamancha Junior Yearling, Alder*Rose RDF Theophanie, won two first-place awards and, although still growing and slightly chubby, shows promise for the future. I would like to extend my gratitude to those who assisted, particularly Michelle, Tracey, Shaena, Lin and Jill.
