New name - who dis?
REINTRODUCING our new junior herdsire (who had a hiccup with naming and needed a rename):
PAULEN RIDGE FARM SS MOTUHAKE
KoMo is sired by Castle Rock Sunthin Special, the 2021 ADGA Spotlight Sale buck and son of GCH Castle Rock Tahitian Sunset VEEE90, who was the 2019 National Champion and Best Udder. Tahitian was also part of the 1st Place Breeder’s Trio, 1st Place Dairy Herd and 1st Place Get of Sire at Nationals in 2019. Sunthin’s sire, Castle Rock Thunderhead, is a son of SGCH Castle Rock Polar Vortex EEEE91, who is the maternal sister to CH Castle Rock Flash Flood VEEE90, the 2015 National Champion and Best Udder. Vortex is also maternal sister to notable sire, Castle Rock Pineapple Express *B.
Tahitian’s sire is Castle Rock Cleveland Sage ++*B, 2019 National Premier Sire and a buck who is well known for the consistency of the mammary systems he puts on his daughters. Cleveland Sage has 8+ SGCH daughters.
KoMo’s dam is a young and promising doe from Novella Farm that my dear friends at Paulen Ridge Farm purchased bred to Special. Arwen’s second freshening udder is already a dream to milk with nice open orifices, strength of attachment and a beautiful, smooth foreudder. I have had the chance to see Arwen in person late last year and get my hands on her and she is truly a beautiful, dairy type doe who I think is going to mature into something really exceptional.
Arwen’s sire is CH Sweet Garden Gioachino Rossini *B, who is a son of SGCH Fairlea Elise VEEE90. Elise was not only a 6x ELITE doe and 2x Total Performer at the National Show, she was also 2nd Place at Nationals three consecutive years in her respective age class from 3 to 5 years old. Giaochino’s sire’s dam is SGCH J-Nels ER Dumplin 2*M VEEE90, the 2011 Reserve National Champion.
Arwen’s dam is Novella Farm Rev Mystic, a doe who now resides at Moon Station and is in her PRIME right now as she hits the show circuit down south. Arguably one of the best silver does in the country (or the history of the breed). Mystic is a daughter of Agape’s Prize Reverend C Quinn, a son of GCH Woodbridge Farm CountNBlessns 1*M EEEE92 and Old Mountain Farm Cyrus Quinn +*B.
Mystic’s dam is the lovely Flat Rock’s Alchemy, a doe who has outproduced herself time and time again with daughters who are improvements upon her while maintaining that beautiful dairy character and mammary system.
I am beyond excited to use this guy this fall and see what he produces. While KoMo himself an outcross buck, he is well related to some of the does in our herd and will be a great cross over all of them! We may also have some SUPER EXCITING announcements on the breeding list for this fall that will tie his genetics back into our herd even further.
A huge heartfelt thank you to my friends Donielle and Sean of Paulen Ridge for letting this guy come to live with me!
