Piddlin Acres Kings Ransom

MCH/CH Piddlin Acres SC Oddessey

Zeus' pedigree is full of influential animals of the breed and he is a fine example to carry on their legacies. Being very long bodied, correct feet and legs and beautiful breed character about the head. Zeus is an absolutely stunning buck when you see him in person. The kids he has produced have been beautiful. I am a fortunate and a very proud owner of this exceptional buck.

Grasse Acres Zorro

Sire: Piddlin Acres KR Zeus	Sire: Piddlin Acres Kings Ransom
	Dam: MCH/CH Piddlin Acres SC Oddessey

Dam: Piddlin Acres WB Fraulin	Sire: MCH Goodwood Wiesbaden+S (Gay mor Kingwood+S x Goodwood Bejou Merry)
	Dam: Woodhaven Farms Moondancer*D (Storybook Zoser x Storybook Nefertiti)

Zorro is a product of the excellence in dairy quality that Piddlin Acres' reputation in quality breeding represents. Check out his grand sire Bonzai for reference. Zorro is pictured here as a yearling and I am anxious to see how he fills out (Bucks continue to develop for 3-5 years.) Zorro is small, correct and well proportioned to his size. His dam Giselle is also very small. He often looks like he's striking a pose which is rare if you've ever tried photographing goats in the barnyard. His blue eyes and flashy color also make a handsome picture.

Grasse Acres Gandalf
Blue Eyes
DOB 3/20/07

Sire: Prairie Oak GF Flapjack	Sire: Piddlin Acres Gelflynn
	Dam: Moonshine Acres Elf'n Magic
Dam: Grasse Acres Poppy	Sire: Gray's-N-Goats Winterblues
	Dam: MK Grasse Acres Gabriel

A better photo will be coming soon but looking at Gandalf's sire and dam give you a good idea of the "stuff" Gandalf is made of. I was so impressed with both his Flapjack and Poppy, I couldn't resist retaining Gandalf. It is known when selecting a young buck, it is important to look at the quality of his parents and grandparents. Take a look at Flapjack (photo under reference buck), and Poppy (Grand champion Jr. doe) to see Gandalf carries quality dairy genes. Although he appears to be white in this photo, he is actually gold and white in color like his dam.

DOB 3/18/2000

Sire: Ponders End Double Dare	Sire: It'l Do's Arapaho
	Dam: Twin Creeks Tres Colores G+
Dam: Twin Creeks BH Mae Beline	Sire: Twin Creeks Brave Heart +S 'E'
	Dam: Piddlin Acres Mae West ++S

Sharon Dean (owner of Pioneer) states, "'Pioneer' passes on wonderful mammary systems to his kids - their udders have been high in the rear, with very good attachments and well extended fore udders, good sized teats and large orifices. I am also very pleased with his overall conformation. He has great rear angulation, plenty of depth in his heart girth; wide, flat and wide ribbing and a nice topline, all of which he consistently passes onto his offspring. 'Pioneer' has proven his worth over the past few years -- he has given me 85% does! I couldn't ask for a better ratio!"
