When Laurie approached me
asking if we wanted to purchase her remaining LaManchas, I was thrilled
but sad to see a breeder that I respect so very much getting out of the
breed. She has put so much into our industry and I am so lucky to have
so many of her lovely, productive does in our herd! I will be forever
grateful to her for entrusting these lovely animals to me!
Sky is the 2nd of this lovely pair of twin does. She is the powerhouse
of the pair with tremendous boning and strength while still retaining
that lovely general appearance. Sky suffered a false pregnancy in early
2023 and was bred back for fall kidding, freshening in November. She had
a teat injury just after kidding that has left her a bit uneven this
year.
Sky's dam was a strong general appearance young doe in the Tempo herd.
Her maternal granddam is the lovely Tempo Rosemary doe that was such a
powerhouse with that lovely level topline and capacious mammary. Sky's
paternal granddam needs no introduction...SGCH Kastdemur's Evian, the
2008 and 2009 National GCH and 2006 National RGCH! Her sire, Tach Lach,
is another great name in the LaMancha breed with multiple SGCH and GCH
daughters. Tach was a long, level large framed buck who excelled in
dairy strength. His daughters have all had impressive mammary systems
but their greatest strength was their consistency of general appearance
and there have been many outstanding Tach Lach get of sires!
Fresh in November 2023, Sky
will be bred in the fall of 2024 for spring 2025 kids. |
