She has lived up to all our expectations and then some. She was the District 7 Lamancha Specialty GCH and also had 1 BIS win as a 2 year old. She also has several BOB wins. She has several nice daughters and one remains in our herd-Xhibit. We lost Noteworthy the day her daughter Xhibit finished her GCH.

Her shows have earned her many blue ribbons and lots of praise. As a 5 year old she continues to be at the top of her class, but she does not have the general appearance you expect from today's Lamanchas. She has an amazing mammary with letter perfect teats, size, shape and placement. Her milk volume, great taste and great components make her a farm favorite. Tweedle crossed the rainbow bridge spring of 2010-a very hard loss for the farm.

In 2005 Krystal freshened on Jan 7th with single doe kid. We decided at 8 years old she still looks just the same and so took her to one show where she was BEST IN SHOW in both rings and then decided maybe we should take her Nationals where she was the 2005 Reserve National Champion. Thank you to judges Acton, Bice and Klein! Krystal, in 2002, was 3 times BOB, and 1 Best in Show (165 milkers) and was the District 7 Specialty BOB for the 3rd year in a row. If that isn't enough she was also BEST IN SHOW at the prestigious Western Washington Fair an honor few Lamanchas have won. She was also the "Total Performer" for the 2005 National Show Best of all she passes on her good traits. See her daughter Paradigm. We do not plan to breed her this year-2008

GCH Lucky Star's L Delphinium 7M 1992-2003 S: +B Clovertop's Louie Torres D: GCH Lucky Star's ZG Allspice (L.A. 90) Her last appraisal 5-04 91 E E E E 6-09 305 3170 122 3.8% 87 2.7%	About Delphinium: Delphinium is the 3rd doe who achieved all our goals. She has appraised 91, was a GCH and completed a lactation over 3,000 #'s. She also has several daughters and nieces that are finished or have GCH legs. Delphinium's most important trait is that she passes on her good qualities to her sons and daughters. Unfortunately, for us, we have sold them all. We will be keeping her 2003 doe kids. Sadly she died giving birth to 3 dead buck kids the winter of 2003 so there will be no kids for us. This was a very hard loss as there are no direct descendants in our herd. She does leave many lovely offspring in other herds, such as notable sons Joseph's Coat, Leland, L-Way, Mesquite and grandson Lewsia.

GCH Lucky Star's Y Crazy Cradle 3M 1991-1996 S-++B Lucky Star's NB Yauldson D-GCH Lucky Star's Yo-Yo 2*M FS-90	About Crazy Cradle: Crazy was the 1995 National Champion. She was our second National Champion and one of only 3 does we took that year. She does not have any direct descendants in the herd but does have many nieces through Bewitched. Her premature death was a real blow to our herd at the time. How did Crazy Cradle get such a strange name? Her mother was named Yo-Yo, and "The Crazy Cradle" is a difficult Yo-Yo trick, derived from "Rock the Baby in the Cradle".
