Jethro arrived with his two sister and we had no orders for bucks from his dam, Josee.  Jethro was strikingly correct and very sweet.  When the buck kid we planned on keeping died due to a birth defect, Jethro quickly moved in to the "keeper" pen.  He has been growing like a weed and has bred several does. We’re excited to see how his kids look. 

Josee is an exceptional doe who appraised 89 (the highest possible as a first freshener) at 2 years old.  She developed mastitis as a second freshener and was not appraised this past summer.  We are hoping that she does well this year but we know that her son has the genetic make up to produce beautiful daughters.

We'll get a picture this June when he gets a haircut and gains some weight back from being in rut.

We were delighted to find this beautifully bred boy right in our own back yard and even happier to be able to purchase him from the Strong Family.... We purchased him on his pedigree strength alone and were more than thrilled to see what a handsome young man he is. Thank you to Jim and Suzanne Strong for allowing us to add this guy to our breeding program.

He has just enough of our does in his background to fit in to the program and add some wonderful additional strong points. He is smoothly blended and well grown. His top line is beautiful and his dairy strength is outstanding. We are very excited to see his babies this spring.

Dam: SEVENTH ANGEL JJ BLACKWING

J.J. was a upstanding buck with a beautiful rear leg set and the most open and rounded escutcheon that we have ever seen. His mother was outstanding doe, she classified 90 (E, E, E, E) at six. We have long admired Trish and are thrilled to have her genes in our herd. Her son had a delightful temperament and was a joy to work with. His daughters were very nice with wonderful angulation and temperament. JJ has proven himself to be a consistent buck siring uniformly long, smooth daughters with lovely mammaries. J.J. really filled out as a 4 year old and at 350 pounds was truly a gentle giant of a buck. He gently romanced his does and treated them as a gentleman should. We are very proud of this buck and his offspring.

He has sired numerous Permanent Champions, Superior Genetics animals, and Does that score in the 90's. His Senior Get of Sire was undefeated in 2004 and again in 2007. Our get of Jesse James placed 6th at the 2005 nationals and we will continue to use him as much as we can through AI. It was a very sad day late in January 2007 when we had to say good bye to our favorite Old Man. He has and will continue to be greatly missed. We will continue to use Jesse James on carefully selected does via AI and are very thankful to have a supply of his semen in our tank.

Conner at 4 years old

Thank-you Pat Lantz for allowing us to purchase this stunning young man.

He is a gentleman and has the kind of temperament that we breed for here.

He has wonderful genetics and his Great Grandmother on the dam's side was a Reuel doe so we have great confidence that he will meld nicely with our herd and give us some greater strength in the top line and that he will pass along his levelness through out. Springtime will be an exciting time around here and the years to come will certainly be interesting as we watch his does mature. Thanks Pat, we SO appreciate you!
