Slice took a year off in 2008 - sat around the barn and enjoyed the view. We really didn't expect her to do that, but things happen. When she is in the show ring, you just can’t miss Slice - she’s long, flat boned, incredibly angular, and open...she exemplifies dairy character. A three time winner of her milking class at the National Show, in 2005 she was named ADGA National Champion & Best Udder. She walks with elegance and grace...with that long neck and regal appearance she demands attention. Each year she’s looked beautiful, long and dairy...but in 2005 things came together even more as she deepened and matured to a new level. Her daughter, GCH Kastdemur’s Orange Crush 4*M EX90, was 3rd place 2-year-old at the 2004 National Show, and 3rd place 3-year-old at the 2005 National. Together Slice and Crush were 3rd place in the Dam & Daughter class at the 2004 National, and were 1st place Dam & Daughter at the 2005 National.

Slice had a tough time as a kid, and only survived through the tenacity & attention that Krista gave her... & her own inner strength and will to live. To have this doe accomplish what she has over the years, to attain the title of ADGA National Champion, to appraise EX93, to produce 3,000 lbs. all in the same year, and to be named on the ADGA Superior Genetics list as well... we couldn’t be more proud of her.

We’ve kept her son Kastdemur’s Sting who is sired by Mauldin’s Expensive Habit as one of our Jr. Herdsires for this year...hoping to instill that stature, dairyness and angularity throughout our herd of LaManchas. Unfortunately we lost him this past year, but his daughter Sugar has done everything we had expected.
 
Her 2006 Buck kid, *B Kastdemur's Slice of Life, gave us a tremendous thrill when he  sold in the Spotlight Sale at the 2006 ADGA Convention.,  So many people bidding, so quickly it all went, and he sold for $9100.00. , It was almost unbelievable to experience such support and appreciation - we felt it was due so much to people who have come to appreciate his beautiful dam as a very unique and beautiful dairy goat. In 2007 Slice of Life has finished his CH as only a yearling buck and was also BIS at the Lamancha Specialty for his owner Jeanne Koploy.  This year he appraised EX90 - way to go!
