​​
Panache's genetics are legendary. He is being retained with a view to the long-term, bringing the Manuka Honey genetics back into the herd. As a testament to his quality, he placed Reserve Grand Champion in strong competition with a fairly incompetent handler (me). He is a sweet, easy to handle buck who brings the added benefit of being polled!

Panache's daughters are proving his promise, freshening with productive, well-attached udders. He is also improving general appearance, adding his long bone pattern and dairy strength. I am hoarding his offspring.

2020 Update:
Panache was used extensively on Castle Rock does for 2021 kids. Watch for them in the show ring!

2021 Update:
Panache's daugher, Owlhaven P Cielo went first in all three rings as a junior kid in a highly competitive show.
​
Retained daughters:

  • Owlhaven P Aries
  • Owlhaven P Barbarella

 I retained Aries based on my belief that Adele will mature into an exceptional doe. She has not disappointed me. In July 2021, Adele scored 3-02 VVEV 88 - several days prior to kidding! Post-kidding, she developed a productive and beautifully shaped mammary system and should easily earn her milk star once I resume testing.

Whiskey's genetics need no introduction. Her dam, Lucille Two, was an exceptional show doe. Whiskey is even more striking in appearance, scoring 91 EEEE from one of ADGA's toughest appraisers. Besides having an Excellent mammary system, she is excellent in shoulder assembly, legs, and back. She is very good in all other structural categories, including her rump, which is very wide and level!
