I won't lie, Cassie is one of my favorite goats.  She is a product of my grade alpines.  Her dam, Claire, had to be registered NOA due to the previous owner losing the service memo.  Now Clair, she was a goat that refused to ever walk forward and frequently gave me reasons to use foul language, but man did she produce the best daughters!  Claire is no longer with us, but her legacy goes on.  Cassie holds her own with dairy strength, depth of body, spring of rib, and well set legs from her sire, Dax .  Cassie was the first homebred doe to earn a grand champion, and yes you get a story here.  While I was trying to teach my son (age 6 at the time) how to show a goat (2 baby saanens in the next ring with one being Mischief the drama queen) I had asked a friend to take Cassie in the champion line up.  The next thing I knew, she was going to the judges table to get her ears checked and my husband was off to get her papers.  That was when I knew my breeding program was going in the right direction.  Cassie has continued to be first in her class at almost every show.  After a nasty experience with mastitis, Cassie has risen above and beyond and is competitive once again!  Her first show out after a 6 month battle earned her a grand and reserve in 2025. She has a fantastic LA score and continues to earn the top milker for the Mid Summer show one day milk test.
