If you were to ask why I have this LaMancha doe, I couldn't give you a straight answer. When Beth Kennelley of Devonshire downsized her herd, I decided it would be fun to have "Vannah" to add variety to my life. She certinaly does that, and loves being the "earless Oberhasli". This remarkable milker earned her star as an eleven month old, first freshener with 2320 lbs milk - 267 day lactation! She LA'd in May 2006 with an 86 ++VV. "Vannah" is in Arizona with Alethea Swift for the 2008 season.

"Tofi" is the image of her grand-dam. Thankfully she is different in one respect, she is a dark cream with black markings. I have my hopes that her udder will be as good or even better than her grand-dam...

"Diva" lives up to her name everyday! She lets everyone know that she is the spoiled darling of the farm... the diva! When my daughter asked me to select a LaMancha jr herd sire from June Bryant's Adams-Creek herd, I fell in love with the set of triplets from "Sunkist". The only problem was my daughter only wanted ONE... a buck. I just couldn't resist the georgous doeling of the triplet set, and decided that if I bought the doeling, then there would be no problem. The look on my daughter's face was priceless when I dropped not one, but two baby LaManchas in her arms. We agreed that the buckling (called "Wolf") would join her herd, and the doeling, "Diva", would join the family herd, and we would "share". Watch for "Diva" in the showring in 2007!

2007 was a heartbreaking spring for us at Rachelsie Farm. My beloved "Twizz" lost her life carrying triplets... it is so hard to accept that sometimes "things happen". I had bred her and her daughter with the dream of showing at Nationals in the dam & daughter class.....alas, that was not to happen. "Fiona" also had a difficult time with her twins, and just did not regain her show form. She has been retired early to a loving family milker home. These two does are referenced here, because "Twizz's" legacy is carried on through her grand-daughter.... C-R-Ears Twist Of Fate.

"Twizzler" was the perfect blending of Oberhasli and LaMancha. The udder genetics in this doe produced the 'perfect' udder! As our family herd's (C-R-Ears) foundation recorded grade, she proved herself in the show ring by winning multiple Best Doe in Show, and Best Udder in Show. My proudest day was when she went Best Doe in Show at the 2006 Kentucky State Fair! "Twizzler" earned her milk star as a 2 year-old, first freshener with 2414 lbs milk. In 2006, she exceeded 2800 lbs milk. She LA'd in May 2006 with a score of 92 EEEE!

Her 2006 doeling is a carbon copy. "Fiona" (from the movie "Shrek") is the perfect example of the saying "...genetics is what is floating at the top of the gene pool at the moment of conception." I bred for correct Oberhasli markings; erect ears; polled; and udder. To accomplish this, I used an old line, polled Oberhasli buck that is very strong in Oberhasli breed character. I did get the polled, and I would like to think I got the udder, but I sure didn't get anything Oberhasli!
