Cozy was also purchased from Willow Run. We always wanted something related to Malachite and we were delighted when Billy recommended Cozy to us. She is a soundly built doe that is very uphill and level over the topline and rump. Her body is smoothly blended and she is strong on her feet and legs. Cozy has a well-attached mammary system with a smooth fore and a high, wide rear udder. Before coming to us, they only attempted to show Cozy once bringing her to Harrisburg, but she didn't take that first show well and was scratched. Cozy adjusted to our herd well and had a good show season. She finished her championship in 2005 with a show record of 3X 1st, 2X 2nd, 3X 3rd, 2X 4th and 3X GCH. She freshened last spring with a single buck and had some local complications that set her back on milk production. We didn't show her at the Nationals because she looked a little stale, but even with a limited show season she still did well going Best of Breed twice. Additionally, she appraised an impressive 92 EVEE. We had hoped to bring her out this year, but she aborted and we didn't want to rebreed her and have her freshen so late in the season. Cozy is a very exciting doe and we have high hopes for the 2008 Nationals. her breeding to Spartan will be a repeat. The buck kid was outstanding and we would like a copy!

Taudry is a doe that excels in general appearance. The first thing you notice about her is her long, level topline and level, flat rump. She is smoothly blended throughout, especially in the shoulder assembly. Her overall structure is very correct and her mammary system is snugly attached. She has lots of eye appeal. Taudry was competitive as a first freshening 2 year old in 2004, placing 12th at the Nationals, and placing 1st four out of seven times shown, and never placing lower than 4th. We felt that another freshening would even make her more competitive, and it did. She was one of our stars in 2005 with numerous 1st's and 2nd's, 5X GCH, 2X RGCH, 5X Best of Breed and 4X Best Doe in Show wins.

Last season started out a little rough after a bad kidding, but she bounced back and came on just as strong appraising 91 EEEE and going Best Doe in S how at her first show out. Unfortunately, she had a skin reaction to wasp bites and was not up to par at the Nationals, but still made the cut placing 18th in a large class. After having 2007 off, Taudry is back to herself adn we will be looking forward to taking her out in 2008 as an aged doe.

Marmalade has been one of my favorites since she was a kid. She is a good sized doe that is very balanced and stands on excellent feet and legs. Her body is very smoothly blended and is overall very correct. Marmalade's mammary system is snugly attached both fore and rear. She was very showy as a kid, always standing at the top of her class and has continued on as a milker. As a yearling, she had only ever taken second to herdmate, Tempra.  Marmalade was also Reserve Champion to our older girls in the 2004 season, and we felt that was quite an accomplishment for such a young doe. In 2005, she finished her championship after her first three shows, ending the season with 12X 1st, 4X 2nd, 1X 3rd, 3X GCH and numerous RGCH. marmalade came out for the past few years winning numerous Best Doe in Show awards.

We were glad to see Marmalade back on the show string this season and proud of her 1st place Aged doe win at last year's National Show. She was also part of the 1st place Dairy Herd, Produce of Dam and Best 3 Senior does - no small feat! Her son, Maddock, has really produced some beautiful daughters, showing the consistency in this line.

Marmalade is a very, very special doe, and personally I would take a whole herd just like her! This old girl is still going strong at 10 years old!

Tempra is a long framed doe that is smoothly blended and very angular throughout. She has a mmary system that is very capacious, with good attachment both fore and rear. Tempra is an exceptional milker and has a great, easy-going personality. She had a great show season in 2004 as a milking yearling, placing 1st or 2nd every time out, only taking 2nd to her own herd mate a couple of times. She even went RGCH to our older does at the last show of the season! In 2005, Tempra came out just as strong placing towards the top of her class and going RGCH on several occasions. She finished her championship in the first couple of show out in 2006 and appraised 90 VEEE. Tempra was a little heavier in 2007 after kidding but mae the cut at the nationals in a very competitive class. She is a very versatile doe that milks well, shows well and reproduces true to her maternal side.

Rhema is a family favorite. She reminds us of her dam, Renae, who we lost last spring (but remains near in our hearts). Her body is long and level and she stands on a strong set of feet and leg. She is a first freshening 2 year old that has a well attached mammary system, both fore and rear. We would like to see more capacity to her udder, but feel this will come with another freshening. Rhema has such strong maternal and paternal lines that we feel she will shine in 2006. This season she was somewhat overshadowed by her 2nd freshening stable mates, but she should give them a run for their money next summer! Rhema was 2X 2nd and 3 every other time out in the show ring, right behind Marmalade and Tempra.

Strait reminds us so much of her dam, Tory. She has the same capacious beautifully attached udder, and is tall in stature with a long, dairy frame. Her feet and legs are strong and she has more rear leg angulation than her dam. Strait is also very correct in her shoulder assembly, scoring excellent on linear appraisal. We love this doe! She was the star of our yearling show string and came out in 2007 just as strong. Along with showing well, she is an excellent milker and has produced some beautiful daughters.

We continue to be impressed with Strait's daughters and her ability to reproduce so well. Strait, herself, truly is getting better with age!

Strait has not been shown in the last few years because of a mastitis problem; unfortunately, it has resulted in some permanent damage to her mammary system. her show career has ended, but will live on through her beautiful daughters.

Jada is a flashy, loud colored doe. her frame is taller and longer than her dam's but she maintains Jazz's dairyness and high, wide rear udder. Several judges complimented us on Jada's beautiful rear udder and correct teat size and placement. Jada also has excellent texture. Jada has been very competitive for the past couple years, winning numerous championships and several Best Udder in Show awards. She was also 8th place 3 year old at the 2008 Nationals, and her daughter, Jitter was 3rd place Jr. Kid.

After a struggle with a foot abscess, Jada has not been able to return to our show string. We feel she is still a valued member of our herd as a productive brood doe. Her 2010 daughters out of Spartan are beautiful and we feel her upcoming breeding to Medaillon should be outstanding.

Dare was offered to us by Karen Senn of Kastdemur's Dairy Goats in 2005 when Mountain Dew had twin does. We feel honored that Karen and Krista would sell us such a fine doe. Mountain Dew, Dare's dam, was Reserve National Champion in 2004 and lineared a 91 dry. Dare is an exceptionally large, long-bodied doe with exceptional leg angulation. Her mammary system is well attached and has added capacity with each subsequent freshening. Dare just seems to get better with age. She finished her championship and was Grand Champion and Best of Breed at our State Fair. We love this doe and think she is getting better and better every year.

Civi is my son, Tyler's, doe. She was purchased from Karen and Krista in 2006. Her dam, Citra, has always been my favorite doe in the Kastdemur herd, and we were e xcited to have the chance to get a daughter from her. Civi is the littermate to our buck, Cyclone; she is so correct that it is hard to fault her. Her feet and legs are very strong and her body is smoothly blended, balanced and correct. We love her mammary system; is is snuggly attached both fore and rear, with plumb teats of proper size and shape. The only thing we think Civi needs is to fill out, which seems to be coming with more freshenings (she is a bit immature yet). Civi finished her championship in 2007 and has been GCH and Best of Breed numerous times since freshening.

Roana was the star of our kid crop in 2006, and didn't disappoint us when she freshened as a yearling. Roana has a ton of general appearance and stands on a strong set of feet and legs. Her legs are well angulated and she has a deep body with a wide, flat rump. Roana's mammary system is very well attached and smoothly blended. Her show season was exceptional in 2007. finishing the season needing only one leg.

Roans came out strong in 2010, finishing her championship, as well as standing 7th at Nationals in a very competitive class. We truly admire this doe for all her positive qualities. She additionally has outstanding sons and daughters in several  herd across the country!

Tawny has been my personal favorite since the day she was born. She is a flashy chamoisee and white kid that draws your attention with all her style and grace. her conformation matches her dam, Tressa. Tawny is level over the back to the rump, and stands on strong feet and legs. She has also matched her dam in mammary system with a plastered on udder and perfect teat placement. Tawny bloomed after her 2nd freshening and had an outstanding show season. She was the front runner of our show string and was the first doe to finish her championship. You can't help but notice her; she is so upstanding and has such a pretty udder.

Tawny is, and remains, just an incredible doe. She is one of the farm favorites and is aging well - one of our most valuable brood does.

 Sett is the tallest of our does, and possibly the tallest of all our LaManchas. She is very long bodied and is sharp and clean throughout. Her style is similar in type to her dam's and she has the same pretty leg angulation. Sett has a well attached udder that has just bloomed with each lactation. her teat placement has improved and her fore udder is long and smooth. We love this doe and feel she just gets better with age. Some judges find her to be extreme and don't know what to do with her. However, she had a good show season, finishing her championship and placing 5th at the Nationals in the 3 year old class. She also was 1st place Dam & Daughter with her lovely daughter, Sunny Day. She is exactly the type of doe that we breed for.

This past spring she freshened with a single buck kid and didn't come into as much milk as she normally does, so consequently had limited showing. We're looking forward to having her back out in 2012 in great shape!

Congratulations to Sett - she was the 1st place 2 year old 2009 All Breed Fturity winner!

Maple is another one of our flashy Spartan daughters. She is a dairy doe that is long and level over the topline and stands on a sound set of feet and legs. Her mammary system is one of the nicest we have had freshen. It is well-attached both fore and rear and has exceptional shape and texture. She hasn't disappointed us with showing either, being one of our top contenders.

Maple had an exceptional showing in 2010, winning the National Champion title and numerous Best Doe in Show wins. Maple came back with a bang after a year off, winning the 7 & Over class at Nationals. She continues to be an integral part of our herd.

Mya has been one of my picks since a kid and still is as a milker. She is a smoothly blended doe with a well blended front end and good shoulder assembly. her mammary system is very well attached with teats that are well placed and have good size and shape. Mya has a strong set of feet and legs, and is quite an impressive competitor!

Mya finished her championship and placed 2nd/1st udder at the 2010 Nationals. She was also part of our 1st place Best 3 Senior Does and 1st place Senior Get of Sire. At 2011's National Show, she was 1st place 4 year old, and continues to prove herself in the ring as well as in the barn. Mya is still going strong, still showing well, placing high at this year's Nationals and producing one of this year's favorite kids in our herd.

Mia is a striking doe out of our beloved Madison. She follows the same style and type of her maternal sisters, Marmalade and Maple, being level, balanced and smoothly blended throughout. She has a highly arched escutcheon and freshened with an exception mammary system and good teat placement. She may be the underdog of the Madison daughters, but has proven herself placing 6th at the National Show and producing such a beautiful milker, "Medley."

Mia has 2 Champion legs, and is only one restricted leg away from finishing. This doe is an excellent producer, and she just never seems to age. She has proven herself as a valuable brook doe with three beautiful daughters in our herd!

Tara was my personal favorite of the 2007 kid crop. She is a flashy, tall, long bodied doe with tons of style and incredible general appearance. She has more dairy character than her dam and exhibits the same width throughout. Tara's udder is beautiful. She has an exceptional rear udder, being very high and wide. She finished her championship as a 3 year old and had a strong season from start to finish, including winning the 3 year old class at the 2012 National Show. In 2013, she was BDIS at the NAILE.

One of Tara's best qualities is her consistent ability to reproduce herself. We've seen it over and over - an absolute great quality. Added to that is this girl's will to milk - and boy does she! Tara has all the bases covered and continues to prove herself.

Viewpoint was purchased from Craig Koopman last spring. I have admired this doe since the Natonals in Massachusetts. She is a long framed dairy doe that has an outstanding mammary system, both fore and rear. She is clean, sharp and angular throughout and possesses a lot of style. Viewpoint has had a great show season, finishing her championship, placing 4th at the Nationals and winning GCH LaMancha at the Indiana State Fair. We thank Craig for allowing us to add her and her genetics to our herd!

Meadow is one of the most correct does in our herd. She is our last Marmalade daughter and reminds us of her dam in many ways. Meadow is long bodied with a level topline and rump. She stands on excellent feet and legs and is smoothly blended throughout. She has a well-attached mammary system with great teat placement. Meadow freshened as a first freshening 2 year old last spring but we felt another freshening is what she needed. This year she aborted 4 weeks early so she will not be shown until 2018! We feel she is worth the wait. Look for her in 2018!!

Storm is maturing into a beautiful doe. She came in last spring with a large amount of milk but an uneven udder (milking close to 2 gallons). Storm freshened this spring with an even udder and tons of milk. It took awhile to get her in show shape but she didn't let us down going RGCH and GCH her first weekend out. We feel this doe excels in all categories being extremely productive, showy and the producer of some excellent kids!

Storm is an excellent producer in milk and in kids. Her 2017 doe kid was first place milking yearling at 2018 Nationals (Seayla). Her 2019 kid, Cinder, was BJDIS last season!

Tears has a hard kidding this spring/summer. She snapped back better than we thought after all she went through, but did not have the amount of milk with a single birth needed to balance out her large frame. She is an extremely sizey doe and we feel it will take another freshening for her udder to match with her huge frame. She has a level topline and rump and at a quick glace you think she is Temptation. Her feet and legs are excellent and her mammary is high and wide. We are excited to have her freshen again to get her on our show string!!

Risque was a first freshener this spring. She kidded in March with a beautiful udder and is a productive doe in the milk department. She is easy going like her dam and is similar in type. We have not taken her to a show but feel with another year to mature she will bloom into a competitive doe. We wish all our does were as sweet as she is!

Skye is a HUGE yearling that has the same style as her dam, Sunny. She has lots of bone and is a powerful force to reckon with.
