Sierra Aspen PS Panache 1-02 VVV 86

Linear Appraisal:
01-03 VVV 86 Show Record:
1x RGCH (only time shown) |
DOB: 3.25.16
Extras: Polled Sire: Castle Rock Port Sunlight *B 03-02 VEE 89; ADGA Sire Development Program; littermate to the 2019 ADGA National Champion Doe Castle Rock Tahitian Sunset!
Inbreeding Coefficient: 11.367%, 10 generations |
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.
Panache will be collected by Biogenics this year.

I brought in Kobold specifically to continue my work in boosting production while preserving structural soundness. I had been haunting Curbstone's website, watching for a Hanukkah son that traced to either Lotus or Rowena. Kobold fit the bill perfectly, being a granddaughter of Lotus (Elite Doe 2017-2020) via Redwood Ivy. Ivy is a true daughter of Lotus, milking over 1,000 pounds as a second freshener over 446 days.
Hanukkah''s dam, Peridot is an ADGA Top Ten Milker. Over four lactations she has milked from 990-1480 pounds per year. She is capable of a long level lactation, with her fifth lactation lasting 909 days.
Kobold even brought in a line to the phenomenal brood-doe, GCH-ARMCH CRF Castle Rock Tuscan Sun 1*M *D VEEE 90, through Abraham Darby. Tuscan Sun needs no introduction, being the dam of the 2019 ADGA National Champion Doe, CH Castle Rock Tahitian Sunset VEVE 90.

Extras: Polled, blue eyes PLANNED PEDIGREE Sire: Sierra Aspen PS Panache 1-02 VVV 86
Inbreeding coefficient: 9.2% 10 Generations 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 is milking 4# daily.

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!
Whiskey displayed a long, level lactation even as a first freshener, starting at 3.1 pounds and ending with 2.9 pounds (over 1/3 gallon) when dried off early at 177 days. |

Extras: Polled PEDIGREE Link Sire: Sierra Aspen PS Panache 1-02 VVV 86
Inbreeding coefficient: 20%, 10 Generations |
Barbados boasts two lines to SG Algedi Farm MB Manuka Honey ++*B and two lines to SGCH CRF Castle Rock Alum Root 1*M, the dam of Cleveland Sage. His grandsire is a full sibling to CH Castle Rock Tahitian Sunset, 2019 National Champion and National Best Udder AND a son of the great performance sire, SG Castle Rock Cleveland Sage ++*B ELITE. His paternal granddam, Jasmine, is a daughter of one of the greatest does to come from Algedi farm, GCH Algedi Farm RB Ocean Flower 6*M.
On the dam's side, Manuka Honey requires no introduction. Milkweed, an exceptionally promising yearling, was killed by an LGD (yes, it happens sometimes). Milkweed was sired by Dill's BF Diamond Rio +*B, a son of the Reserve National Champion SGCH Dill's XM Keena 4*M. Milkweed's dam was CRF Castle Rock Coral Bells 2*M, a maternal sibling to Cleveland Sage and one of Owlhaven's foundation does. I'm very selective about the doe lines that are on the farm, and at this time have only three lines that are at or above 3 generations Owlhaven breeding. Cora's line is at the 4th generation as of 2021. In the small world of Owlhaven Farm, this is a huge deal because when I am dissatisfied in some way (or need cash), entire doe lines get sold, only the very best remain at the farm.
Finally, a note about Buddleia. Buddleia has consistently been the star at linear appraisal time. In what has become an outstanding, albeit small, herd, she has always risen to the top when evaluated. In 2021, her udder demonstrated it's full potential, and it's worthy of grand championships!
