Since seeing Veracruz as a first freshening 2 year old at REDGA, we have wanted a buck kid from this doe. We first saw her as a beautiful dry yearling the previous show season. However, the following year at the same show when we saw this drop dead gorgeous doe on a stanchion, I stopped and asked Krista, who is that doe? "Vera" she said. I must have looked puzzled because she then said "Veracruz." It's not that I didn't know who Vera was, it's that I didn't recognize her she had changed that much.

Boy, what a difference that year made. Vera had grown into this long, tall, sharp boned beauty with a gorgeously high wide rear udder. I told Krista then that Vera is the total package, and she continues to be. This doe impresses us more each time we see her. Now that we have waited two years for Valentino to arrive, we can't wait to put him to work. Thank you, Krista!

Val has grown like a weed over the summer, and we were thrilled when his litter sister Vera Wang was named National Junior Champion. Val will see a lot of use this fall, and we can't wait to see kids by this beautiful guy in the spring. Val has been collected and semen is priced at 5/$175.
