Isn t it strange how many herds that once had Nubies no longer do? WINDERLY S INKY, an Alpine with 20,000 lb. Lifetime was bred to a son of COLD COMFORT CABBAGE, all time Nubian recordholder at 5300 lb., to produce YANKEE. YANKEE and a FROSTY MARVIN son produced ZLINKY. An amazing +0.9 PTA Protein %. After all these years when the breed has been moving up, KATMANDU is still 95 th ile as of January Formerly 99! At 8 years old on March 12, 2005, KATMANDU dropped an amazing 14.5 lbs. on official test!! We didn t think she would kid at 10! We went all the way through the 2003 Performance Volume and not one Saanen in America freshened at an older age than KATMANDU did in February of 08.

DD: GCH SINGAPORE LA lbs of fat in 305 days. After all these years a doe with freaky butterfat! But - Can she pass it on?? YESSS!! Her son is the highest living USDA rated Saanen, mainly because of his dau s b.f. & pro. Awesome mammary. Has one RGCH in 4 shows. Tiny at birth. Nice rear leg angulation and VERY NICE escutcheon. The back feet are mediocre. If you care about the size of your milk check, or if you care about how much cheese you make from each gallon of milk, you may want to look at the end of the list where we discuss this subject of components. A disappointing second lactation, which didn t cause her to get kicked out of the 99 th percentile. EXCEPT THE B.F.! 143 will easily make TOP TEN! Freaky. Her 2011 buck kid works in Quebec. Her 2009 buck ZURICH is the highest rated living Saanen on the USDA Elite Buck List as of January (Go to adga.org. Click on Performance Programs. Click on Elite Bucks.) GOAT BUYING TIP: See how WINNEMUCCA s b.f. % jerks around. That happens all over the country. Labs get different b.f. s each month and each year. So, if you have a choice between two Saanens, rely on the one with the milk numbers more than the b.f. one with the butterfat numbers. ********************************************************************************** Page 44

We said: Her dam was ranked 99 th percentile and her sire is our best milk buck out of those with a positive PTAFS. It is scary how good CHEYENNE could be. As a kid she has been shown only once and was Grand Champion in milk. Before she turned two she was first in both rings as a milking yearling. Then we stopped showing her. We know the body is there and we know the milk is there and we know the components are there. If she gets the awesome mammary she becomes a $5,000 doe and her babies sell for 1,500. If not, she is a 1,500 doe and babies sell for 600. It s too bad that U.S. Breeders put way too much weight on mammaries and way too little weight on milk/fat/protein. But that IS the way it IS. 2/19/14 Scott said an E mammary maybe not enough fore. Fabulous rear and teats. Shown only once in 2015 and of course she could not beat CASSIOPEIA. CHEYENNE got coded A for acceptable for feet. Rear feet weakness is the very reason the Ryals turned down WINNEMUCCA as a kid. Since we breed for strong rear pasterns, we knocked CHEYENNE S PRICE DOWN BY 400 AND HER KIDS DOWN BY 300. Second place at Nationals July 4, 2016 with her dau FLORENCE 3 PAGES FORWARD.

Along the way in 2017 she defeated ALOHA LA-92 6 straight times, DELICIAS LA-92 the week before, and a couple other LA-91 does, EZTAR and AMAZING among them. Scott says: Very loose shoulders. Awesome from back and side. Coming toward you, a little narrow in chest. Great, but not fabulous fore. Great, but not fabulous rump angle. Bigger than the other does. She should finish in top 5 at 2017 Nationals. Was way underbagged.

With an RFL of 53 as of June That means the computer has some confidence in the PTAFs. As of September 2010 she was the biggest of her class, and size DOES matter. She is too laid back to be a great milker. Not hot as a yearling. Hotter as a giant 2 y.o. milking like crazy. She has the show genes big time. Three crosses to ALOHA - the top show doe in the last 30 years. We planned to keep her son by RUMI for our show buck. But he developed salt and pepper hair. Mainly salt..

18 JIRGA is very impressive viewed from the side. She moves with grace and a nice rump angle that will only improve with age. She is huge for her age. Everything about her is built right, EXCEPT scott hasn t seen the udder bagged up yet. And that makes all the difference in the world. BOLIVIA HAS STAYED IN THE HERD STRICTLY ON LOOKS. Her dau, JIRGA s dam moved up the food chain milk wise. Hopefully JIGA s sire has taken her to another level and she can stay regardless of whether she has a high rear..
