Reference Goats 2: Paco's
family |
|
updated
2/6/13
In a herd as small
as mine was at the beginning, the first herd sire can have a tremendous influence on
the look of the nascent herd, and this effect can persist for generations.
I was very fortunate to have Stonewall's
Apocalypse Now sire the first kids born here. This page is a
walk through Paco's pedigree. He is not the most beautiful buck
to look at, and since he is oversized he will never have a stellar
show career to boast of, but he has stamped my first generation
of does for anyone to see. I believe he comes by his prepotence
for general appearance and dairy character honestly, as my father
used to say: his pedigree is very strong. He couldn't fix every
flaw in the does I started with, but he made a big first step. Once
again and always, my thanks go to Judy Veale for entrusting me with
Paco. Click on the photos or links in the pedigree below to

the larger photos. |

Courtesy of Gail Putcher. Raising Arizona, Paco's
sire, appears on many Reference Goat pages, as any web search
will quickly show. He has multiple MCH offspring, and is the sire
of several Top Ten Breed Award winners for milk production. I
think that his pedigree is very interesting, because it brings
together three of the most prominent sire
lines in the breed: ARMCH Goodwood Kenya, Goodwood Zeppo,
and Brush Creek Bogart. His former owner, Gail Putcher, wrote
to me : "Arizona is still a "hot buck", even though
he's been dead for three or four years. He threw lots of color,
mostly reds and red and whites, nice long, level bodies, excellent
legs and feet, excellent udders and lots of milk." His son,
Gay-Mor's RA Kingwood, whose color has been nicknamed "Kingwood
red", has also been very influential in the breed.

I don't
have much information about Paco's dam, only this picture, courtesy
of Judy Veale. I have been told that she was commendable. If anyone
knew her or Longstreet personally or by reputation, I would love
to know anything about them.

Longstreet's breeder, Judy Veale. Longstreet is also the sire
of MCH Stonewall's Diggory Venn,
(2005 AGS National Champion Buck, and sire of my first two foundation
does, Meg and Rona, and of Winterfield Rianna and Winterfield
Niobe).
Asked
to describe Longstreet's dam, Confederate Rose, Judy wrote: "Connie
probably has the most capacious udder, in proportion to her size,
in the herd. She's currently nursing her four lusty buck kids
(the surviving kids of her latest set of quints) with ease. Her
topline could be better, but her great strengths in width, front
end, and udder size and conformation have led us to keep several
bucks from her over the years, and they have proved themselves
well by siring such outstanding does as Stonewall's Black Magic
(1 x RGCH, 1 x BUIS), Stonewall's Serena *D 'VG' (1 x GCH, 2 x
BUIS, 4 x RGCH) and Stonewall's April Fool." Black Magic
,Serena, and April were sired by Longstreet's full brother, Stonewall's
Jumping Jack Flash. (A side note: I have seen Connie's registered
name written both as Willows Confederate Rose and as Willow Creek
Confederate Rose; I'm not sure which is correct, but Judy used
the herdname Willows.)
Longstreet
and Jack are members of the panoply of influential bucks sired
by the redoubtable ARMCH Goodwood Tom Thumb +*S, who can also
be seen on many reference pages, and who was owned by Rosasharn
Farm.

courtesy of Judy Veale. When I observe the name Mr. Periwinkle
in a pedigree, even several generations back, I am almost always
impressed with the result, and Penny was no exception. Judy said
of her: "Penny is exceptionally productive in terms of both
quantity and quality of kids. Her first son, Stonewall's Midnight
Cowboy, has sired show winners in the Caesar's Villa herd and
one of her daughters won Best Udder in competition against large-breed
dairy does. Her 1996 son Stonewall's Raising Arizona sired the
Grand Champion Junior Doe at the 1997 AGS National Specialty.
One of Penny's 1997 sons, Stonewall's
Orbison, was Junior Champion
at the 1997 National Specialty. Penny has a capacious, well-attached
udder with large, beautiful teats."
Penny
was also the dam of Stonewall's Palliser *S 'VG', (Orbison's full
brother), sire of the very beautiful ARMCH 4Fun Southern Pride
3*D 'E', as well as other successful offspring for Caesar's Villa
and 4Fun Farm.
Penny
died in October, 2003 at the ripe old age of 11 1/2.

courtesy of Gail Putcher. Lily Dale's sire appears frequently
in many modern pedigrees. His breeder, Gail Putcher, said, "Johnny
threw long, level, very dairy does with nice udders and good production."
Johnny sired the magnificent MCH
Gay-Mor's JJU Nonpareil 'E' 3*D, owned by Twin Creeks, ARMCH
Stonewall's Hetta Carbury 2*D, owned by 4Fun Farm, the 1997 National
Grand Champion Junior buck, Stonewall's Orbison, and the 1998 National Grand Champion Junior
buck, Gay-Mor's JJU Larkspur. Johnny and Orbison were also the
winners of the National Sire and Son title in 1997.

courtesy of Judy Veale. Judy describes Avalanche this way: ""Avalanche
has a truly superior udder which has held up tremendously well as
would be expected from its high, wide rear attachment and smooth
fore attachment.
Avalance is somewhat coarse in her body with heavy shoulders. She
has produced some very lovely kids including Stonewall's Black Magic
, who earned a Best Udder award as a first freshener, and 1XRGCH,
1XRBUIS Stonewall's Serena (both now reside in the Caesar's Villa
herd)." Serena also earned her AR in 1998, milking 918 pounds
in a 305 day lactation at 2 years of age. |
