We were so proud & so touched this year when Survivor came to
Nationals with us as a 7 year old and won her class! She had won
as a Jr. Kid in 2001, and has been consistent through the years - but
never 1st in the class at Nationals again until now.
Everyone has a story...and Survivor has hers. Her dam
Sprite kidded very early in the morning in 2001 (4:00
a.m.!) with two buck kids - I was present for the kidding and subsequent
cleaning...No one else was there...or so I thought! 14 hours later, out in the barn to do the evening milking chores,
we heard “something”...but couldn’t find anything. Kept hearing it
again...and stop...then again...After
searching pens several times for the elusive sound of a baby...I was
near the hay feeder in Sprite’s pen....and heard that sound...after
digging through the day’s feeding we found a barely alive...but
dry...and crying white doe kid. Survivor...what
else? She’s thrived, she
produces, she competes, she does everything...she survives and does it
well! Her daughter GCH
Kastdemur’s Kadina 3*M who was our 2002 Colorama nominee has done very
well for Heather Arts in Idaho, winning Best Udder awards and
finishing her Championship.
Survivor
is long & lean, sharp and angular...a very “dairy” animal, and
passes those strengths on to her offspring. Her daughter Vanuatu,
is now a finished GCH and appraised EX93 (EEEE) as a 3 year old.
Daughter Fiji is really beautiful as well - long and tall, with a
beautiful udder - and has just appraised EX91 as a two year old.
Yet another daughter GCH Kastdemur's Xitlali just appraised EX91 as a three
year old. We've kept a full brother
to these does as one of our herdsires - *B Kastdemur's Eye of the
Tiger appraised VG89 as a yearling. Tiger shows that same stature & length
& stretch we see in his sisters, as do his offspring. His
daughters won the Jr. Get of Sire class at the 2009 National Show, and
were 1st & 2nd place Intermediate kids as well as 2009 ADGA National Jr.
Champion.
Survivor's 2009 son *B Kastdemur's Burning Heart sold for $2600 in the
ADGA Spotlight Sale this year and was sold to Sally Callahan!
Sally loves long, tall, very dairy LaManchas! Thank you Sally!
We wish you every success with "Rocky"!
