'21 Saanen Total Performer
'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.

PTI21: 240 PTI12: 255 ETA21: 127 ETA12: 168
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 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!

'17 4th, 2nd Udder 2yo
'17 5th Dam and Daughter (with Heat Wave)
Our first Heat Wave daughter, Summertime has somehow turned into one of the "old" ladies now at 6 years old. With her E shoulders and back, she's always been a strong part of our show string. She's one of 4 does that managed to end the 2019 show season with 2 CH legs apiece. Summertime's strongest category has always been her udder, which is very similar to her mother's, with greater extension and width of fore udder to go with the strength of medial and rear that Heat Wave exhibits.

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.
Evangeline

PTI21: 34 PTI12: 112 ETA21: -26 ETA12: 24
One of several Win-Catchin' On daughters in the herd, Evangeline has always caught our eye with her beautiful general appearance and body capacity. Deep and wide
with incredible length, she's also got one of the strongest fore udders in the herd. She finished her championship in style this year, going BIS at our Spring Show.

'18 6th Milking Yearling ADGA Nat'l Show
A fancy yearling in 2018, Lyresto has matured into a productive and stylish 4 year old. With her elegant dairy frame supporting her productive mammary system, Lyresto is a favorite in the parlor and the show ring.

'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 an 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.

Chatelaine is one of only a couple of Pressure Drop daughters born before we lost him, but oh is she exciting! Linebred on Heat Wave, she demonstrates the extreme
length and smoothness of her grandmother combined with a more level topline. We love the strength of her feet and legs, combined with that high, wide rear udder.
Hanky Panky
Sire: Tempo Passa Etain
Dam: SGCH Spinning Spider EL Heat Wave
DOB: 3/27/18
03-05 VEVE 89
01-11 283 2510 78 71
ETA21: 70 ETA12: 85
Hanky Panky reminds me more and more of her mother as a younger doe. Limo long with the beautiful rear udder and teat placement that Heat Wave has, when they stand
in the parlor side by side it's like seeing double.

ETA21: 64 ETA12: 110
'21 8th 3yo ADGA Nat'l Show
Lark is a graceful doe with a beautiful mammary. I love the width and height she carries in the rear, along with the extension, width, and smoothness of her fore. Still somewhat immature as a 3yo, we look forward to what she does in '22.

ADGA National Show Placings:
'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.
Lola
Sire: Tempo Passa Etain
Dam: SGCH Spinning Spider AV Changes
DOB: 4/7/18
03-04 VEEE 91
01-10 305 2640 66 76
ETA21: 12 ETA12: 77
Maternal half sister to Heat Wave and Weather, Lola already exhibits the same strength of bone and correct general appearance of her half sisters. While a bout of
dry yearling mastitis left her slightly uneven, we still feel she shows tremendous strength, as exhibited by her high LA score.

Dam: SG Spinning Spider LT Lyresto
DOB: 4/24/18
03-04 VEVE 90
01-10 290 2780 96 80
Striking last year as a first freshener, Strange Angel has continued to improve with age. We love the correctness over the topline she shows with a deep, smooth
front end and a lovely set to her rear legs. Her udder is high and wide to the rear, with extension and width to the fore and a medial that holds it just where we want it.

'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
02-07 VEVE 88
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

DOB: 1/25/19

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.

'21 2nd Produce of Dam (with Heat Wave)
A dry yearling in '20, Lego freshened this year with a stunning mammary. Maternal half sister to Weather, and line bred on Heat Wave, we had high hopes for her. She proved us right when she stood 6th at Nationals and scored 89 VEEE as a FF this summer! An absolute sweetheart, we're still working on the whole "walking gracefully in the show ring" part of things.
Perfect Storm
Sire: Des-Ruhigestelle Winnemucca
Dam: SGCH Spinning Spider EL Heat Wave
DOB: 2/25/19
02-06 VEVE 89
01-02 266 1510 49 44
ETA21: 48 ETA12: 88
An incredibly exciting AI cross, Perfect Storm highlights the length and dairyness of her mother. Slightly uneven in '21, she didn't quite make the very competitive
cut for our 2yo show string. That being said, we love the correctness of her feet and legs, and the smoothness of her front end, as exemplified by her LA score.
Lyfe
Sire: Spinning Spider Wayward Son
Dam: SG Spinning Spider Lyresto
DOB: 3/21/19
02-05 VEEE 90
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.
Sanctuary
Sire: Spinning Spider JohnnyThunder
Dam: Spinning Spider StrangeAngel
DOB: 2/19/20
01-06 VEVE 87 (FF)
'21 6th Milking Yearling ADGA Nat'l Show
One of our first JohnnyThunder daughters to freshen, Sanctuary has impressed us from the start. We love the width her mammary carries front to rear, as well as her extremely correct GA.
Divine
Sire: Springfield-Oaks HW King
Dam: SGCH Spinning Spider Put Onthe Ritz
DOB: 2/13/20
01-06VEVE 87 (FF)
Something of an outcross on the sire's side, Divine is a productive,correct, and exciting young doe.
Skylark
Sire: Springfield-Oaks HW King
Dam: Spinning Spider HL Lark
DOB: 2/18/20
01-06 +V+E 85 (FF)
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!
Climate Twist
Sire: Spinning Spider Social Climate
Dam: GCH Tempo Passa Elentanya
DOB: 2/19/20
01-06 VVEE 87 (FF)
Twist is our first fresh daughter by Social Climate, and is a maternal half sister to Razzi. While she had something of a rough start as a kid, she made up for lost time and freshened this year as a very fancy young doe. Her udder is reminiscent of her half sister's, and is hopefully a sign of things to come from Climate.
Secret
Sire: Spinning Spider JohnnyThunder
Dam: Spinning Spider TS Serenade
DOB: 2/22/20
01-06 VVVV 85 (FF)
Stylish, correct, AND productive! What more can you ask of a milking yearling?

Dam: Spinning Spider LE Limbo
DOB: 2/22/20
01-06 VEVV 85 (FF)

Sire: Spinning Spider Honky Tonkin
Dam: Spinning Spider AP Vespers
DOB: 2/23/20
01-06 VEEV 86 (FF)
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.
Fever
Sire: Spinning Spider JohnnyThunder
Dam: SG Spinning Spider Foxy Lady
DOB: 2/26/20
01-06 AVVV 81 (FF)
Tall like mom, Fever is still somewhat awkward right now, but we think she has the pieces and parts to mature into something special.
Metro
Sire: Spinning Spider JohnnyThunder
Dam: Spinning Spider HM Mainline
DOB: 2/26/20
01-06 VVVV 85 (FF)
Metro looks so much like her mom, with perhaps a touch more length of body.
