2007
The 2007 show season is off to a good start-finishing Paradigm. We will not be appraising, as we will be at a family wedding on the East Coast.
Western Washington Fair- September 12, 2007
ADGA National Show- July 11, 2007--The
2007 ADGA National Show turned out to be a real test of our resolve. The trip
started with Vet requirements for 3 states--Idaho just to pass through and
Montana to camp and Wyoming for the show. The trip to get there was 1500 miles
long through 5 cities that set all time record high temperatures as we went through
them. When we arrived we found we were penned in the “outerbanks” .6 miles way
from the show ring, with no power, no shade and open pens when the rain came.
We did make the best of it and the does did great.
On show day we trucked the
does to the ring and though unusual no one seemed to mind! The day started at
7:00 a.m. and in the first class Xcellin was first place with Cindy Silva
showing her. As the day went on we had 5 firsts, many thirds and almost
everybody made the “cut”. We felt this was pretty exciting given that we came
home to see people advertising they had made the “cut”. The highlight of the
day was when Vivian was the first of 55 two year olds. Vivian was our youngest milker since we elected to leave the yearlings (and the aged does) home due to the
expected heat.
The show was not what we expected with Karen and Krista
Senn’s Kastdemur herd missing and we did notice their absence. The Southfork
does looked very nice, especially their dairy herd and it was fun to see Richie
and Marilou enjoy their win. Redwood Hills showed a very lovely 3 year old,
Mighty Mouse, that we really loved. It was worth the effort to see Lamanchas be the largest
breed shown at this Nationals.
The trip home was 5 ˝ days long with a broken truck and
many other mishaps but the goats arrived back in Port Angeles safe and sound.
We took 19 does with us and only brought back 12. We were delighted that
several have wonderful new homes. They will be missed but we are grateful for
the good homes they went to.
Wild Rose Dairy Goat Association Show- June
9, 2007 The Lamancha Specialty was in one
ring.
Our Dairy Herd was first in both rings and Best in Show
in one ring -That herd
was made up of Paradigm, a-Rresting,
Su-Ellen and Vivian.
Su-ellen and her
daughter, Willma, were first place dam and daughter in the Specialty.
We do
have to confess that Cindy Silva really took away most of the specialty ribbons-not
surprising.
In the second ring, however, we had first place 2 year old, 3 year old, 4 year
old, aged doe and GCH with Paradigm and RGCH, with
Vivian and yes all the does
move over to that ring. Cindy was still BOB with Roman Design. All in all a very good day.
Southwest Washington Dairy Goat Association Show -
May 19,
2007--This 2 ring show was very satisfying for Judi as she finished
Paradigm!
There were other 1st and 2nds, but
for Judi only one thing mattered!
All Breed Goat Club show- May 12, 2007--Brought several firsts and 2 Grand Champion Senior ribbons. Judi's beloved Paradigm was GCH under both judges Tweedle was 1st and 2nd's in the 3 year old class. Another Monet daughter was 2nd aged doe (Rockin-CB QM Rebecca) in 2 rings and RGCH in both (congratulations Rachel Hendrickson.) The 4 year old, Su-ellen, was first twice. Wish A Upon a Star was 1st and 2nd in the yearling class. Vivian (1st freshening 2 year old) was 2nd and 4th (just wait guys)!
2006
2006 Appraisal brought us several new 90-92 does and some others repeating as well. Of the 17 milkers in our herd 13 of them have scored 90 or better --2 yearlings and 2-2 year olds aren't there yet!
Western Washington Fair- September 14th This show is one of our favorites as it
is very large 
and competitive-this was true once again. Our favorite
and a very notable win was the first place dairy herd!!
It was made up of Tweedle-at 2-years old, a-Rresting 4-yrs old, Patina-5 yrs and
Paradigm-5 yrs (milking through from 2005). Patina and Paradigm have both
been top ten twice and both a-Rresting and Tweedle have a shot at 3,000 lbs so
this is truly a "dairy" herd . They went on to be the third place overall
with the Saanens and Alpines as first and second. It was a nice thing to see
was them winning not "stuffed" with milk. We had many other firsts, GCH,
etc. but we feel dairy herd is the "big deal" so are featuring it.
Be sure to check out Cindy Silva's first place National
Show dairy herd at
www.rockincb.com they are truly lovely and deserve
much attention!
Evergreen Dairy Goat Association Show -
June 17,
2006--The Lamancha Specialty was in one ring.
a-Rresting was GCH for the Specialty.
Wish Upon a Star
was GCH Junior doe and Best in Show in both rings. Our Senior Get of Sire- Monet
using Tweedle at 2 yrs old, a-Rresting at 4 and Noteworthy at 6 yrs old was 1st
place as was our Breeders trio using the same three does. Way to go MONET--
once again!
We would like to congratulate Ardis Lyons and her
daughter, Mariah Acton, for their 2 Best in Show wins with CH Barnowl
Bewitched. Also congratulations go to Lauren Acton for finishing Tempo
Vonetta, a Kareem daughter. All in all a very good day.
All Breed Goat Club show- May 13, 2006--Brought many firsts and 3 Grand Champion Senior ribbons. a-Rresting was GCH under all 3 judges adding to her last year wins and completing her SGCH title. Due to Judi's limitations she only took 3 does. Tweedle was shown in all 3 rings winning 1st and 2nd's with 12 does in the 2 year old class. Another Monet daughter was 1st in 2 rings and second behind Tweedle in one ring. The 3 year old, Susan, the 3rd doe we brought was only shown in ring 1 where she was first. Monet had a very good day as 2 daughters were 1st and 2nd in 2 year olds and 1 first three year old and 1st and 2nd in the four year old class with 3 GCH's. Way to go MONET!
2005
We were unable to appraise in 2005-sorry!
2005 Show Results--
The first show finished one doe, the second brought legs on an up and coming 2 year old, the third added a leg to the 2 year old and 2 for a (new to shows) three year old. The fourth show added 3 Best in Show wins- 2 with 8 year old Krystal and one on a dry yearling.Western Washington Fair- September 15th This show is one of our favorites as it is very large and competitive-this year was no exception. On the morning of the Lamancha show we were pleasantly surprised to see NOTEWORTHY fully uddered and looking better then she had at a show in the past couple of years. She did not disappoint us, as she was 1st aged doe, GCH and Best of Breed. Yes, she even beat out the now retiring Krystal in Champion Challenge! Tyche was the reserve Junior Champion, we also had many other nice placings in classes and groups. We would like to congratulate Ardis Lyons and her daughter, Mariah Acton for their first place dairy herd!
ADGA National Show- July 25, 2005
This show was only 9 1/2 hours away from us this year so we were able to get
the time off work to go. It was an amazing amount of work and we have to
say we admire all those people who travel across country year after year to
show! We learned a lot and saw many lovely Lamanchas.
Lamanchas were the second largest breed at the show. Karen and Krista Senn,
Kastdemur, had the most amazing all around group of Lamanchas! In addition
to the National champion they had top placing animals in every age group they
entered. You can check them out at--
http://www.geocities.com/kastdemurs/.
All but one of our does made the
"cut" and we came home with a car load of crystal awards and oodles of ribbons
and , of course, the reserve National Champion-Krystal. Krystal, in
addition, won the life time butterfat and milk awards and the new TOTAL
PERFORMER AWARD. Her daughter Paradigm won the high single lactation for
both butterfat and milk. It was a very rewarding and educational
experience! The breed has come along way and we are grateful to be part of
it's progress!
EDGA--June 18, 2005
This show is a a 2 ring doe show and 2 ring kid show. It was fun to get
some kids out (at least the idea was fun the realty was hard work). We
took 2-2 year olds, who were first and second and second and third. One of
our 3
year olds picked up 2 more seconds. We decided to take 8 year old
Krystal (who freshen Jan 7th with a single doe kid)
for Champion Challenge. She delighted us with 2 Best of Breed wins and
then 2 BEST IN SHOW wins. Not bad for an older lady!
The kids
were very competitive, with 28 juniors shown, mostly placing 2-4 in their classes
with Twinkle going Grand champion in one ring and
also BEST IN SHOW. The other Lamancha Grand champion Junior was a
daughter of *B Lucky Star's TR Sizzling Hot.
Cindy Silva picked up a GCH on her
doe Sixpence (dam of Vatu, a buck who now resides here) and Merri McDonald picked
up a GCH win on her 5 year old Kareem daughter, Navigating Your Heart.
Another very successful weekend.
CWDGA--June 3, 2005
This show is a 7 hour drive-1 way- (for you east coasters this local <smile>)
for us so it is always a challenge. We had great fun and the goats made
the trip just fine.
Our yearling,
Tweedledee, was first in 2 rings. Our 2 year old,
Susan, was also first 2 more times and earned
another GCH leg and BOB as well in one ring. Our
three year old, a-Rresting was first 3 times and
GCH twice earning her two GCH legs and a BOB win.
Kat Drovdahl picked up 2 RGCH on Rockin-CB Schemer and Merri MacDonald earned
a RGCH on her Kareem daughter, Navy. Merri also finished her 7 year old
grade Kareem daughter, Freel (Free Love). Kat also had a BOB win in one
ring with her Lucky Star's QK Nasturium daughter, Rosine. All in all a
great day!
SWWDGA-- May 21,
2005
This show had 29/29/27 Lamancha milkers and 2 CHCH does.
Our yearling, Touchstone, was there for her life's
first show with only 10 hours milk and still placed third-- she will have to wait
her turn. The 2 year old, Susan earned a GCH in one ring,
going on to BOB as well. Our three year old, a-Rresting,
also making her show debut had 2 firsts and a third. Cindy Silva's
does Roman Design and Sixpence also earned legs. Sixpence could be the
poster child, as far as we are concerned, for "Black and Tan" Lamanchas- this is a
SWEET (as my son would say) doe. So, "hot" that the best part of the
weekend, for us, was arranging for her son to be moved to our farm--THANK YOU
CINDY! All in all a very satisfying weekend.
All Breed Goat Club show- May 14,
2005--Brought many firsts and 2 BOB and a coveted Best In Show win
for Lucky Star's Natural Raquel 3*M- the newest GCH in our barn. There were 18 Lamancha
milkers and a CHCH doe.
The yearling, Tweedledee, was
1
time first and 1 time second in stiff competition with a Tempo Yearling (Ross's
niece) going first in one ring and GCH- (she is actually almost 2 and a very
lovely doe.) The 2 year olds, Susan and Star,
were first and third with Susan earning one RGCH.
Our 3 year old,
Raquel, was GCH in 2 rings finishing her
champion status in the first ring, she was also BOB and topped of the day with
BEST IN SHOW. Regan had 2-- 4th in this
excellent competition. Our 4 year old, Paradigm,
was 2nd to Pat Hendrickson's lovely Lucky Star Fancy Pants' daughter-Pendent.
2004
2004 Appraisal brought us 7 new 90-93 does and some others repeating as well. Of the 19 milkers in our herd 13 of them score 90 or better! The herd average including yearlings is currently 89.6!
2004 Show Results-- (2 new permanent GCH's--3 year olds- Patina and Prismea! Dry legs on 2 kids and once again the "state" fair Best in Show milker!)
WWF-- September 15-16, 2004-This
show is our "state" fair and carries for us the most prestige of any show we go
to. This year we had the Jr. GCH with Lucky Star's Natural Tyche (Tiki),
the Sr. GCH with GCH Lucky Star's QK Patina 2*M, who went on to be the be Best of Breed and
YES she went on to win the BEST IN SHOW. Jalepeno won this title in
2000, Krystal won in 2002 and now Patina in 2004. We were also
pleased to see Kat Drovdahl win RGCH with GCH Lucky Star's QK Nasturium (Top Ten
and LA 93). If this wasn't enough we also won each group class including
the much desired Dairy Herd award.
EGDGA-- June 19, 2004
This show almost made Judi head for home when she checked in and there
were 34 Lamancha milkers pre-entered!
Don had sent his favorite yearling (his
long awaited Fanciful daughter),
Star Search, and she was first (way to go Don).
Natural Raquel, was 2nd twice with two different
does in front of her one of Cindy Silva's and the other Kat Drovdahl's, both with
enough Lucky Star blood to make Judi delighted to be second in this very strong
class, which even took ever speedy Sam Whiteside 45 minutes to place.
Prismea was first in both rings in the three
year olds and we were thrilled to stop there, but Prismea went on the be GCH in
both rings completing her GCH title.
The only junior show of the year
for us, brought several more firsts, seconds and a coveted dry leg in this very
large show. a-Ttention was not only Champion
but also Best Junior Doe in Show!
CWDGA--June 12, 2004
This was a smaller but very high quality show. We took a few new
does to see how they would fair.
Our yearling, Susan, (it was suppose to be
Solitaire, but Judi loaded the wrong one) was first in 3 rings making her
8 first for 9 shows).
Natural Raquel was first 2 more times. Our
three year old, Prismea (her first show of the year) was first twice and RGCH
twice earning her first leg.

daughter, GCH 5-K Melody, was BOB in all 3 rings. Pat Hendrickson's Lucky
Star's Fancy Pants daughter, Pendant, was reserve in one ring. We thought the weekend
was pretty darn exciting!
All Breed Goat Club show- May 15,
2004--This
was our first show in almost a year so it was very exciting and we had
reservations about how "barn blind" we had become in that year. Don picked
out who he wanted shown, clipped them up and away Judi went. There were 24
Lamancha milkers pre-entered, with 11 lovely 2 year
olds. The results were very rewarding.
The yearling, Susan, was 2
times first and 1 time second in stiff competition with a Rockin' CB yearling
owned by Kat Drovdahl.
The 2 year olds, Raquel and Regan,
each had a first and Natural Raquel was GCH in one
ring with a Fir Meadow's (Kat Drovdahl) 2 year old as reserve. Kat
graciously pointed out her doe had 4 "Lucky Star" parents/grandparents.
Our three year old, Patina,
(at her first show as a milker) was GCH in the other 2 rings with Kat's Lucky Star's QK Nasturium as
reserve in one ring and Pat Hendrickson's Rocky Run Fancy Pendant, a
Lucky Star's Fancy Pants daughter, as reserve in the other.

We would like to thank the Hoeker Family, Lisa Chen
and Teresa Wade for showing for us and many others for helping Judi out. A severe (at least for
Judi) sprained ankle prevented Judi
from showing at most of the shows including the specialty. Were it not for
our wonderful friends show season would have been over very early!

In ring 2 under Karen Senn a-LLure was GCH and Best of Breed. Krystal was second to her in CHCH. The yearlings placed the same.

2000
He joins a-Llure and Krystal who have also finished their championship this year. BEWITCHED PAGE for picture of a-Llure and Delphinium/Ebony PAGE for picture of Krystal.
Western Washington Fair on September 14, 2000-- Judge John White. We were thrilled when the champion line-up had a-Llure as the 1st place 2 year old, Krystal as the 1st place 3 year old and our beloved Jalepeno as the 1st place 4 year old. That seemed enough for the day, but Jalepeno was selected GCH and then went on in a very tough Champion Challenge class to be the Best of Breed and finally later in the day was selected BEST DOE IN SHOW!! Thank you John White, to have the breeder of the lovely One Oak Hill Lamancha herd select our doe, made it all the more special. We also had the 1st place Breeders Trio, Dairy Herd, Get of Sire-Senior and Junior. Krystal's doe kid, New Age, was the RGCH Kid. It was a great day for us. There were 11 fellow Lamancha breeders at the show and some very lovely does with well over 1/2 the milkers being already finished champions so we were very honored to have our does do so well.
