Xmasak.jpg (24834 bytes) Since 1975 Saanens have been an important part of our herd.   Since 1985 they have been protected by Akbash Dogs like the one shown here.

We’re pleased with type of animals our Saanen herdsires are producing, and we think you will be, too. A primary influence in our Saanens is the Clovertop Herd of Ray Vieira and Manuel Cabrito of California. We bought our first Clovertop buck almost 20 years ago. This herd is famous for the quality of their animals, and their success as a commercial herd as well, with approximately 350 milking does at one time.

We currently have two mature Clovertop bucks, both with dams that have milk production records of over 4000 lbs. We have owned two other Clovertop bucks. One, Clovertop’s Snow Design, was the sire of 2 ADGA National Champions. His grandsons have been used with good results in a number of California Saanen herds, one of which is Redwood Hills.

Another bloodline that we have used heavily is Walden’s. This old, small herd in Montana is known for its quality Saanens – big does with good conformation, consistently high classification scores, and high milk production. Here are udder shots of some of the young does on our milkline.

         1-11 305 3030 3.7F (ext. 365 3400 127F)

Phil, now an aged buck, is one of our most valued herdsires. His dam had the combination of production and mammary system we value. Phil’s daughters have long steady lactations, like his dam, Philodendron, who has two lactations of over 4000 lbs. of milk. The only other Philodendron son we know of was in the Jug Tavern herd, a herd has been competitive at the Nationals.

2. *B CLOVERTOP’S ESPIONAGE

        4-00 305 4750 3.0% bf

While ESP is no longer in our herd, we retained a son (Nightflight) and a number of his daughters. ESP was a long, tall buck with an exceptionally long, level rump like his sire’s dam, Almadeena.

3. PATTERAN GTT JOVE

sire: *B Walden’s Silver Going to Texas
   ss: *B Walden’s Silver Hopes Hallmark
   sd: GCH Reynola’s Dancealot’s Daze 9*M
          3-05 305 2879 3.2% bf
dam: Patteran Design Dove D48
         1-09 years 305 days 2260 lbs. of milk
         (extended) 678 days 4480 lbs. milk
   ds: ++*B Clovertop's Snow Design
   dd: GCH Patteran Design Zoe FS-88 (VVVV) very good in all categories

Jove is an exceptionally large buck, standing over 40" at the withers and carrying good bone. In spite of his size and bone, he is sharp and smooth in the front end.   Because of their eye catching size and strength, most of Jove's earlier daughters were exported, so we are just now beginning to freshen our own daughters. Jove's sire, Tex, did much to strengthen our mammaries; thus, we expect our Jove daughters to do well for us, combining both Tex and Design. Jove provides us with a buck to cross with both our Phil daughters and our Flyaway daughters.

Shown here are Ch. Patteran Exotic Zoe (Dove’s younger maternal half sister on the left) and Dove (right). Exotic Zoe was sired by Walden’s Silver Going to Texas (GTT). She is shown here here first freshening. Both does are graddaughters of Clovertop's Snow Design.
