Isy


SGCHSpinning Spider NC Islanzadi 


 

Isy is one of Morgan's first does to be taken to SGCH.  She's level and wide across the rump supporting a beautiful mammary system.  Several of her sons through AI have been kept and used on the farm.  Their progeny shows a strong tendency to go to the same levelness and udder that we see in Isy. 

Suzie

GCH Spinning Spider IP Suzie  

 

Suzie as a dry yearling was the image of her dam with a little more length, strength and power.  She showed well with several BJDIS.  As a first freshener we saw she carried her dam's udder as well making her a tremendous asset to our Alpine herd.

Katrina

Spinning Spider IP Katrina

 

Katrina is a full though not littermate sister to Suzie.  She shows a striking similarity to her sire's dam GCH Bearly Rebellious Mulka.  We love her udder with this first freshening and expect great things from her.

SGCH Spinning Spider AE Flotilla

 

Flotilla's udder is exceptional.  There's no other way to describe it.  It hasn't changed over her 5 lactations other than to become more capacious.  We would like to see a little more depth of body and a little more width to her rump but as she ages, it's apparent these things haven't impacted her ability to have consistent, strong lactations.

SGCH Bearly Rebellious Wistaria

 

Wistaria was Cullen's re-entry into the Alpine breed.  Purchased as a dry yearling from Ben Rupchis of Bearly Alpines in Virginia, Wistaria is a big powerful doe.  Even after six lactations, Wistaria gives younger does a run for their money, both in the parlor and in the show ring.  She has a tremendously capacious and beautifully attached udder that is still held very firmly against her body wall.  This combined with her general appearance hasn't let her down in her seven years.  We would like to see a little more length across her topline and less movement in her shoulder blades, but niether of these faults have held her back!  We were very excited when Wistaria's 2011 buck kid Spinning Spider Lance Hey Jude was named to ADGA's 4th Quarter Young Sire Development program.

First Place Alpine Dairy Herd
2010 NC State Fair, Raleigh, NC
The Alpine show at the 2010 NC State Fair was huge.  Our joy was complete when we heard someone in the audience comment that not only was the first place Alpine herd beautiful, but amazingly was also part of a commercial dairy.
