Aragon - Senior Buck DOB 2/02 4/2005 Update: Aragon is a beautiful guy – powerful and well proportioned. He’s also a big sweetheart and so are the kids he sires. In addition to great dispositions, he passes on to his daughters wonderful udders that are easy to milk from well formed teats. He also passes on spots, speckles, and splashes – making colorful and productive kids! 2004: His lineage includes very strong Canadian lines in addition to the exceptional Fra-Jac blood so we expect great things from him.

SG Reuel Miriam's EXP Marconi *B Born: 3/2/07
ADGA #1430408 CAE Status: Negative G6S Status: Normal 2010 USDA-DHIR Elite Sire Linear Appraisal Score: 91 EEE Summer 2010: Congratulations to Marco for earning his Superior Genetics title AND his Elite Sire status this year! One of Marco's sons has now qualified for the ADGA Sire Development Program! Summer 2009: Marco, now a 2 year old, is continuing to grow well, but is quite a shaggy fella. It's hard for us to assess his conformation and last year's linear appraisal session ran too long for us to get him appraised. We were very pleased this year when he appraised as Excellent.

2007 Linear Appraisal Zippy Born 6/19/2005 CAE Status: Negative G6S Status: Normal Linear Appraisal Score: 87 V+E July 2007 update: Zippy has grown into a powerful, good looking buck. With bucks, when you want to see what kind of udder they will give their daughters, you look at the buck’s dam. Well, Zippy’s dam, Sassafras, was appraised with an Excellent udder. The appraiser commented several times that she had a perfect rear udder and even stopped his appraisal to gather all the people around to see it. We are still waiting to see what Zippy’s daughter’s udders really will look like – but if they are anything like Sassy’s, they’ll be winners!
