We finished Beau-Nita after showing her just 3 times. She won a

Reserve GCH.

Lonnie, Zoey, Breezy, Beau-Nita, Sunday, PeepShow, Paris, Fiesta,
Poison, Macarena, Fiona, Zena, Zodiac, and Palau participated in the

Res. GCH Jr Doe award, and Macarena took two Res. GCH Sr Doe
awards.

Our second milk test of the year was held on March 9th. Sunni-Beau-No,
Lonnie, Zoey, Breezy, Sunday, PeepShow, Fiesta, Poison, Desire, and
Macarena participated in the test.
We purchased Zodiac back. Zodiac was sold "in utero" 3 years
ago. We are thrilled to be able to bring in another Legacy daughter
into the herd.
We lost Desire and Peanut due to poisoning of an unknown cause.
-
FEBRUARY
We purchased Christie to bring in some new genetics.
Tragically, we lost GCH Beau-Nanza shortly after she freshened.
-
JANUARY
We had our first milk test of the year on 1/31/09. Zoey, Breezy,
and Sunday were the only does tested.
Puzzle and Rain-Beau, who were sold as kids, were purchased back, and
we are thrilled to be able to bring back two Beau daughters.
We also purchased Fancy Face and Sun Ra to bring in new genetics to
our herd.
Panda was sold, but we retained her twin doelings from Legacy.
