'21 High 305 Milk, High 305 Butterfat, High Lifetime Milk
Heat Wave is the farm favorite for many reasons. She's got her dam's calm demeanor and loving personality. We believe this is one of the reasons she's been able to handle the stress of travel/showing along with life on our commercial dairy all while effortlessly maintaining extraordinary production. She is our top ten breed leader, 4th place at Nationals (2021), 92EEEE, 2018 AND 2021 ADGA National Show Total Performer doe, 2021 ADGA National Show high 305 milk, lifetime butterfat and lifetime milk. She is also the dam of the high selling Saanen buck at the 2018 Spotlight Sale. Her Breed Leader lactation of 5210 lbs has been part of a lifetime production of more than 1493 days in milk 21,080 lbs of milk, 619 BF and 619P. She accomplishes all this with an extremely correct general appearance that supports her productive mammary system. She has incredible depth and width, combined with an angular dairy frame. Her impact on our herd and others can be felt in the very consistent sons and daughters she has produced over the years. They all exhibit her beautiful front end and length of bone as well as her high, wide rear udder and near ideal teat placement.

'17 11th 3yo ADGA Nat'l Show
Weather is littermate to Heat Wave and has kept up with or surpassed her sister every step of the way. Productive and extremely correct, Weather scored 92 three years in a row, has milked over 4500 lbs in a 305 lactation, and has provided us with several amazing sons and daughters. She's just as much of a total performer as her sister. Unfortunately uneven since a serious teat injury in 2017 as a 3yo, Weather has nothing to prove here. She's done it all and is one of our favorite does.

Ritz is one of a set of triplet does from an AI of Edelweiss to Des-Ruhigestelle Elander. Sharing the high, wide
rear udder of her dam, she also shows strength and a tremendous will to milk. With several milk throughs and a lifetime of over 1,887 days in milk, 22,231 lbs of milk, 690 lbs BF, and 610
lbs P; Ritz proves she can milk! Ritz continues the trend of our Elander daughters excelling in the parlor, showring, and during LA sessions. Plus she's a sweetheart!

'21 5th 5&6yo
'21 2nd Dam and Daughter (with Paparazzi)
Tanya is one of those impulse buys that I haven't ever regretted. Incredibly long and level, with her high head and imperious nature, Tanya certainly makes her
presence known here. Daughter of Elenya, she looks more like her mother every day. Beyond the show ring, she's proven herself as a brood doe, producing several lovely daughters, including a
National Show class winner!

PTI21: 143 PTI12: 166 ETA12: 71 ETA21: 100
Haze is one of the most productive does in the herd, second only to her mother. She does this while moving around a beautifully shaped udder with ease. Haze has quite the presence on the scorecard, showing angularity and strength, width and depth, along with balance and productivity. I might be smitten.

'21 3rd Best 3 Sr Does member
'21 3rd Sr Get of Sire (with Lego and Razzi)
Smoothly blended in the front end with a long, level topline and correct feet and legs, Mainline also has a beautiful udder that's welded onto her body. One of 4
Honky Tonkin' daughters we took to Nationals in 2021, Mainline placed extremely well in her age class and was an important part of our group classes.
In 2022, Mainline was an anchor of our showstring at the National show, taking 2nd with 2nd udder in her age class, and helping our group classes stay extremely competitive. Unfortunately she didn't settle for 2023 kids, so we'll have to patiently wait for 2024.

'21 7th 3yo
'21 2nd Saanen Dairy Herd member
Our favorite milking yearling in 2019, Starstruck has turned into a deep, productive and correct 3yo. We particularly appreciate the width of rear udder that she
shows as well as the soundness of her general appearance. Something of an outcross on her sire's side, she was a strong member of our Dairy Herd this year at Nationals.
Paparazzi
Sire: Spinning Spider Honky Tonkin
Dam: GCH Tempo Passa Elentanya
DOB: 1/25/19

'21 3rd Sr Get of Sire (with Lego and Mainline)
'21 2nd Dam and Daughter (with Tanya)
Razzi was special from the get go. Born with her mother's attitude, she was a (un-shown) fancy dry yearling. This year she kidded with a lovely udder to go with her amazing GA. She proved this by going BIS in one ring of our Spring show, and followed that up by winning her class at Nationals! Razzi was also the anchor for our group classes, helping us have an extremely successful National Show in '21.
Poki
Sire: Spinning Spider Honky Tonkin
Dam: GCH Tempo Passa Elentanya
DOB: 1/25/19

03-07 +EVV 86
01-06 184 1099 40 35
ETA21: 12 ETA12: 50
Littermate to Razzi and Posh, Poki is another extremely stylish Honky Tonkin' x Tanya daughter. Sharp and angular, with a beautifully attached mammary (just like her sisters), we're glad we kept all 3!
Posh
Sire: Spinning Spider Honky Tonkin
Dam: GCH Tempo Passa Elentanya
DOB: 1/25/19
02-07 VEEE 90
03-07 VEVE 90
01-03 238 1500 47 45
ETA21: 12 ETA12: 50
Yet another exciting Honky Tonkin daughter, Posh was our first fresh Elentanya daughter. Beautifully sharp and balanced, Posh also has a charmingly friendly
personality to go with her general appearance and production. While she didn't make it to a show this year, she certainly proved her worth in the parlor and during our LA session.

DOB: 3/21/19
02-05 VEEE 90
02-05 VEVE 89
01-02 224 1730 54 45
Lyfe looks so much like her mother as a young doe, it's startling. She shows the same elegant high headedness and smooth general appearance. She also shares her mother's tendency towards working hard and not carrying excess weight.
Skylark
Sire: Springfield-Oaks HW King
Dam: Spinning Spider HL Lark
DOB: 2/18/20
01-06 +V+E 85 (FF)
02-06 +++V 86
Another King daughter, Skylark is a promising young doe with a lovely mammary. Still immature as a yearling, I'm looking forward to how she matures!
Vogue
Sire: Spinning Spider Honky Tonkin
Dam: Spinning Spider AP Vespers
DOB: 2/23/20
01-06 VEEV 86 (FF)
02-06 VEEE 90
ETA21: -10 ETA12: 26
With a mammary reminiscent of her paternal half sisters, and the beautifully balanced GA of her mother, Vogue is an exciting young doe. As of 1/2/22, her daughter from '21 earned her Jr leg at a show in FL.
Pavanne
Sire: Tempo Passa Espionage
Dam: Spinning Spider EH Paparazzi
DOB: 2/21/21
01-06 VVVV 85 (FF)
A beautiful young doe who is very reminiscent of her mother, I can't wait to see what Pavanne does in the future!
Coma
Sire: Tempo Passa Espionage
Dam: Spinning Spider Can't Let Go
DOB: 2/19/21
01-06 VVVV 86 (FF)
Coma looks so much like her mother it hurts. She's long and stylish, with a lovely young udder. She's certainly a promising young doe.
Polly
Sire: Tempo Passa Eryx
Dam: Spinning Spider EH Posh Life
DOB: 2/26/21
01-06 VV+V 86 (FF)
A very stylish milking yearling, Polly didn't make it to any shows in '22, but we're looking forward to bringing her out this year!
