Algedi Farm SHH Cassiopeia
DOB 03-27-09

Sire: CH Algedi Farm Smokin' Hot Honey *S

Dam: CH Rosasharn's TL Zenith 3*D

 

Pictured as a chubby yearling :^)

This black with white doeling is as a long as a train, with wonderful levelness over her topline, and wide thurls in relation to her overall capacity, and great general appearance.  She also sports nice brisket extension and lovely rear angulation.  As expected with a doeling from such dairy, refined parents, Cassi does currently lack in overall body capacity and depth, and I would like to see straighter front legs when viewed from the front, thinner skin (though she had plenty of it), and more dairy, well sprung ribs.  Also, strangely enough, Cassi could use a touch longer neck - I guess all that length went into her body!?  Personality wise, she's a very quiet (well, except when in heat!), calm doe who loves her neck scratches, but hates to lead!  We'll see her mammary system in 2011, and hopefully she'll also milk off all her extra blubber!

Well, my suspicions have been confirmed - Cassi is just not quite up to snuff to be a top show doe.  Since I have such a strict criteria of what a doe has to have to stay, Cassi will be for sale after freshening as a brood doe or milker, depending on her udder.  Please contact me if you'd like to be put on a waiting list.

Show Record: 1 x 5th place (out of eighteen yearlings)

Algedi Farm MH Andante
DOB 03-23-10

Sire: Algedi Farm MB Manuka Honey *S

Dam: CH (pend.) Algedi Farm D Capella

 

Pictured at two and a half weeks old - clipped picture coming later this summer

How this kid already has me wrapped around her pretty little hoof!  Since I didn't have a Zenith doeling to retain this year, Andante was an easy second choice.  Her dam, Capella, is the most promising first freshener to come out of my herd, and her sire, Manuka Honey, is producing fabulous kids thus far.  Andante is everything I could I have hoped for and more - long, dairy, and elegant with a level topline, wide, high thurls (though, unfortunately she did inherit mama's raised dorsal process), incredible length from hips to pins, tight and smooth front end assembly, a beautiful rear leg set, well sprung ribs that flow towards her flank, and personality to spare.  She's as sweet as the day is long, and rather hang out with me than her mother.  I have a hard time finding fault with her, but some would like her to be wider in the rear and chest floor.  She also, as typical for her bloodlines, toes out slightly.  I was planning on getting Andante out to a couple 2010 shows, however she must have heard me and wanted to stay home a bit longer, as she broke her left front leg.  The prognosis is good, and I hope it heals fine and she can make it to the 2011 shows, as she's getting more and more beautiful everyday.  If she freshens with her mother's, grandmother's, or great-grandmother's udder, watch out!

Copper Penny The Bee's Knees
DOB 04-2-10

Sire: Castle Rock Cobalt

Dam: Algedi Farm SS Honey Honey



Pictured at three months old - clipped picture coming later this summer

'Kneena' came to me as part of a trade.  She's out of one of "our" does, who is a genetic powerhouse (Sitka Spruce x CH Tupelo Honey 4*D, 3 x BDIS), and by a buck that carries some the finest the Castle Rock herd has to offer (Guy Noir x ARMCH/CH Once Ina Blue Moon 2*D).  Kneena herself is a very correct kid - level over the topline (this picture was taken during a butt high growth stage), long in the neck, has a gorgeous rear end assembly, wide thurls, and clean front legs.  If I wanted to pick at her, I would point out that her shoulders could use more refinement, and her ribs could use a touch wider spacing.  I really like how well balanced this kid is, and I'm going to have fun watching her grow up here.  Kneena is also Miss Personality-Plus, and is quite the talker (not screamer, but more like constantly muttering), and has a typical 'bottle brat' friendliness.  Thanks, Penny, for letting me bring her home!
