| CH MUNCHIN'HILL KICKOFF A1155071 dob: 2-29-00 2003 LA @ 3 yrs: 90(EEVE) 2005 LA @ 5 yrs: 91 (EEEE) Excellent in head, back and rump 2004 shows: 6x1st, 2x2nd, 3xGCH, 1xRGCH, 1xBOB, 1xBIS, 9th National Show 2005 shows: 3xBOB, 2XBIS S: CH Kickapoo-Valley Cruise Control (LA 89) SS:Hoach's Lyric Liason SD: CH Kickapoo Valley Gambit Chime D: Munchin Hill Kazoo- 1 GCH leg DS: Iron Rod Trojan DD: Munchin Hill Jodi C Definitely our prettiest doe with a truly regal countenance, Kickoff is the last doe in the herd that was New York born-and-bred. She completed her championship early in 2004 by going GCH at her first three shows, including the highly competitive VSDGA show in Harrisonburg, VA, under Steve Richter where she placed ahead of Rushkin's dam. Kickoff is long, level and strikingly beautiful and correct. She has a well extended fore udder and a tremendously wide rear udder with teats being a perfect size and shape. Shown only once in 2007, Kickoff went 2nd of 4 entries in the challenge class (behind Klassic) in a very close placing. The Kickoff-Klassic team then captured 1st place in the huge dam and daughter class, and went on to be part of our 1st place dairy herd at the show. Kickoff freshened with quads in the Spring of 2008. That pregnancy was quite a drain on our old girl, but we still took her to the Nationals where the consulting judge loved her. Kickoff, now 9 yrs of age, is still as sound as ever with good feet and rear leg angulaton. She kidded in 2009 with a set of stylish buck kids. Kickoff milked a steady 12 lbs per day for the year. We have retired Kickoff from the show ring but she will remain in our herd as a valuable brood doe. Kickoff is again bred to Rushkin for March kids. |
| CH MUNCHIN'HILL POWER KLASSIC A1219189 dob: 3-6-02 2005 LA 90(VEVE) @ 3 yrs 2008 LA 92(EEEE) @ 6 yrs Excellent in head, feet, rear legs, back, rump and udder texture S: Kickapoo Valley Power Stroke LA 89 SS:CH Pleasant Grove Challenge Laser SD:CH Kickapoo Valley Liason Lullaby D: CH Munchin Hill Kickoff LA 91` DS: CH Kickapoo Valley Cruise Control DD: Munchin Hill Kazoo-1 GCH leg We sadly lost Klassic due to complications from a very rough delivery in February 2009. What a joy this doe was to show! She was long, board-level and elegant and at age 7, still stood on very strong feet and legs. Klassic had an extremely soft pliable mammary system that was very well attached and totally filled her escutcheon. She never had difficulty walking around her filled udder at shows and remained perfectly level while on the move. Klassic was one of the most powerful does in our herd, having tremendous bone size without sacrificing any dairy character. Klassic had the strongest and most correct head in the herd. She even had very expessive eyes with long white eyelashes! Klassic's show record for 2004 was next to perfect! She went first place almost every time out in 2004 and celebrated the end of that show season by going GCH and BIS to earn her first milking leg! In 2005, Klassic unfortunately suffered a severe case of mastitis halfway through the season. This brought her winnings to an abrupt halt. In 2006, Klassic's udder returned to an almost normal capacity. We were elated when Klassic placed 4th in a huge, strong class of 4 yr olds at the 2006 National Show! 2007 was Klassic's year to shine! She couldn't have looked better and we wish the National Show had been closer. Klassic was shown only three times, going GCH, BOB and Best Doe in Show under Sally Callahan, and GCH and BOB under Steve Richter, and finally GCH, BOB and BIS, again with Steve Richter judging. Being Klassic was out of condition due to a hard pregnacy with her quads, we decided not to bring her to the 2008 Nationals. Two weeks later however, Klassic began to blossom once again and appraised with a final permanent score of 92! Her appraiser was very impressed.! |
| CH MUNCHIN'HILL PEEK-A-BOO dob: 3-03 A1261905 2005 LA 91(EEEE) @ 2 yrs 2008 LA 92(EEEE) @ 5 yrs Excellent in rear legs, back and rump 37 in stature S: Fox-Trot WRC Catalyst LA 87 @ 1 yr SS: Willow Run Elijah Compliance SD: Fox-Trot Allie Cat LA 91(EEEE) D: Munchin Hill Plain Jane DS: CH Kickapoo Valley Cruise Control DD: Munchin Hill Answered Prayer Peek-a-boo is an incredibly tall, long-boned, massive, "necky" and dairy six-year old . One of the smoothest does in the herd, Peek-a-boo has tremendous length of body and a wonderfully attached udder whose fore udder blends perfectly into her body and whose rear udder is very tight and wide. Peek's teats are perfectly plumb. Her tracking is dead-on straight ahead. She was undefeated in her class at every regional show in 2004, and in 2005, continued to show extremely well, capturing her first milking leg. Peek, in 2006, was again first in her class EVERY time shown, including at the National Show in Indianapolis where she brought me to tears when chosen 1st place 3 yr old and 1st udder in her class! Peek then completed her championship at her last regional show of the 2006 season when she was also selected as Best Doe in Show! She is a very easy going, sweet-natured lady with steady milk production yielding between 11 and 12 lbs/day and never dries up on her own despite advancing pregnancy. Peek's first milking daughter owned by Ellen Dorsey is already a permanent grand champion. We were so pleased when Peek freshened in 2008 with a set of lovely leggy triplet does sired by Rushkin! This year Peek again presented us with triplet does! Unbelievable! Peek-a-boo was again bred to Rushkin, a match that already has produced three lovely milking daughters with soft showy udders. The two we retained are pictured at the end of this page. The third who is no slouch either, was sold to Elizabeth Wilson in Virginia. Peek-a-boo had an injury to a her foot in early 2009 so was not able to walk well enough to be shown. After she healed, we did take her out to our final show for the season where she went Best Doe in Show. |
| CH MUNCHIN'HILL ANNIE dob: 3-13-03 A1256268 2005 LA 89(VEEE) @ 2 yrs 2008 LA 91(EEEE) @ 5 yrs Excellent in head, rear legs, back and rump 33 in stature S: Fox Trot WRC Catalyst LA 87 @ 1 yr SS: Willow Run Elijah Compliance SD: Fox-Trot KF Allie Cat LA 91(EEEE) D: CH Kickapoo Valley Liason Nexine LA 91 DS: Hoach's Lyric Liason DD: Kickapoo-Valley False Lexine Shown only once as a kid (1st and RJrCH), Annie is very well blended, board-level, has a long bone pattern and is quite stylish. Annie's fore udder is nicely extended, scoring a "42" in LA at two yrs. of age. She peaked at eight and a half lbs of milk as a yearling. Her highlight for 2004 was at the National show where Annie was 2nd of 56 in the milking yearling class behind a doe that turned 2 yrs old the week after Nationals! In 2005 Annie freshened with a single kid so only milked about what she had as a yearling. In spite of this she did exceptionally well at all her 2005 shows and earned her three championship legs. In 2006, our well-mannered Annie freshened with triplets and milked a consistent 17 lbs of milk per day . All of Annie's kids so far, have consistently been very pretty, correct and typey. Two of her daughters are in our herd and the other two are owned by Karen McShane and Laura Tarbet. Annie looked superb at the 2008 National Show in Kentucky where she placed 5th (Peek-a-boo was third in the same class). We then took her to only one local show in 2008 where she captured Best in Show honors. What a doe! |

| CH MUNCHIN'HILL ALLEGHENY A1364201 dob: 3-19-06 2008 LA @ 2yrs: 90(VEEV) Excellent in rear legs, back and rump and an incredible 42 in stature!!! S: CH Qu'appelle V Etienne LA 90 (VEE) SS: Angel Prairie Vega Vlaminck SD: GCH Qu'appelle Supersonic Eclipse LA 92 D: CH Munchin' Hill Annie LA 91 (EEEE) @ 5 yrs DS: Fox-Trot WRC Catalyst DD: CH Kickapoo-Valley Liason Nexine LA 91 Our first kidding of 2010 began sadly with the loss of our irreplaceable Allegheny. She was board-level and took her long -bone pattern to the extreme! Allegheny was the longest doe we have ever bred. She floated around the show ring with an incredible smoothness and walked naturally uphill all the time. Allegheny's udder had an awesome area of attachment. She acquired two milking legs in 2008 and went ResGCH at all her other shows. In the tradition of both her dam and granddam, Allegheny hds a tremendous will to milk, peaked at 18 lbs and leveled off to a consistent 16 lbs daily. In 2009 Allegheny captured her final Grand Champion leg and took all the honors at the Virginia State Dairy Goat Association's annual show by going Best Senior Doe in Show: milky, dairy, strong and pretty all in one package! Ahhegheny had two live bucks sired by Rushkin. One will travel to Canada and the other will probably stay with us. |
| MUNCHIN'HILL A LA CARTE dob: 3-19-06 2008 LA @ 2 yrs: 90(VEVE) Excellent in head, rear legs, back and rump 35 in stature S: CH Qu'appelle V Etienne LA 90 (VEE) SS: Angel Prairie Vega Vlaminck SD: GCH Qu'appelle Supersonic Eclipse LA 92 D: CH Munchin' Hill Annie LA 91 (EEEE) @ 5 yrs DS: Fox-Trot WRC Catalyst DD: CH Kickapoo-Valley Liason Nexine LA 91 Also a very smooth uphill doe, A La Carte is very correct and has excellent width of rump which enables her to easily carry her well attached wide rear udder. Both third fresheners, A La Carte and Allegheny are truly an awesome pair of siblings who have given us fancy stylish kids each year. Shown only once in 2007, A La Carte was an easy 1st place, and in 2008 went 1xGCH and 4xResGCH. She garnered her second milking leg in 2009 under Teresa Baker. We love her general appearance and show ring presence. All of A La carte's buck kids have been sold into show herds except A La France who will be offered for sale this Fall. Carte is bred to Rushkin for February kids. |

| MUNCHIN'HILL ARIA dob: 4-5-07 A1406335 LA @ 1 yr: 88(VEVE) Excellent in back and rump 37 in stature as a yearling S: SG Willow Run Atlas Romulus LA 91(EEE) SS: Willow Run Rico Atlas SD: SGCH Willow Run Caesar Raisa D: Munchin'Hill Allegheny LA 90 @ 2 yrs DS: CH Qu'appelle V Etienne LA 90(VEE) DD: CH Munchin'Hill Annie LA 91 (EEEE) @ 5 yrs What a difference one year makes! Aria has grown tremendously over the past twelve months surpassing her dam in size and scale. With the exception of her head which couldn't be prettier, Aria is very similar to her sire in conformation. Her udder is plastered on and her teats hang perfectly plumb. The rear udder attachment is absolutely perfect in height, width, arch and blending into her escutcheon. She milks 12 lbs daily and maintains wonderful production throughout her pregnancies. Aria has improved in general appearance since last year. Her rump is beginning to level out, her chest is widening and she is actually lengthening her body as she fills out her tremendous frame. Aria freshened with mastitis in one half of her udder and I didn't catch it in time. This caused her to lose half the capacity on that side. We have been applying herbal treatments to stimulate tissue regeneration in Aria's udder. At shows, Aria placed surprisingly well in spite of the imbalance. In fact she even went GCH for leg 1 at her final show of 2009. At that same show, Aria and her dam Allegheny then went 1st place in the dam-and-daughter class over 10 entries. We plan to retain both a buck and doe doe kid from her in 2010. |

This growthy gentle yearling has even a longer bone pattern than does her dam. Portia is currently (mid May) producing 8.3 pounds daily. She was shown five times so far, and placed 1st in each show, excelling the rest of the class in size, scale and mammary! Bred to Quill for late February kids. |

However, she shows promise of being something quite showy and stylish as she matures. Her udder is very tightly attached. It has nice fore extension, a nice wide rear attachment and teats that are perfect in size, shape and placement. At two months fresh Piccolo was milking 8.1 lbs daily out of a very soft mammary system. We did show Piccolo once as a kid and she went Junior Champion. She was shown only at our final show for the 2009 season and took 2nd to her sister Portia. Piccolo is bred to Frenchie. |
