Spotlight Sale Lot #8

We highlighted one strong doe line last time, but Sahara has yet another Dam line in her pedigree that has been incredibly successful.

Sahara’s dam, Nirobi, is out of the last buck we bought from Morgan Allen of Haycreek- Haycreeks Travelor Salvador.

Salvador is out of a doe that we fell in love with at the 2018 National show - SGCH Haycreeks Salute Shindig. Shindig was 1st/1st udder 2 yr old that year.

Shindig’s older sister is the touch more famous SGCH Haycreeks Kane Stradivaria, the 2018 National Champion and Best Udder Oberhasli in Ohio.

These two does are so consistent in their type and correctness. The General appearance and dairyness that they both have is what made Salvador an easy choice to add to our herd.

Stradivaria also shows up in Sahara’s sire’s pedigree as Thomas’s Great Grand Dam.

Today, we will switch and talk more about Sahara’s Sire: *B Heavens Hollow Shi Thomas.

Thomas is out of one of our all time favorite Oberhasli does - SGCH Heaven’s Hollow Shiloh 6*M 03-03 91 EEEE. Shiloh was the National Champion in 2012.

Shiloh, herself, is out of the 2009 National Champion and Best Udder SGCH Heaven’s Hollow Shotsi 5*M 92 EEEE.

And if two National Champions isn’t enough - Thomas’s Maternal sister is the 2023 National Champion & Best Udder - SGCH Heaven’s Hollow Shi Saylor 7*M 92 EEEE.

This is one of the most consistent dam lines around. When we were shopping for a new ober buck it was an easy choice to tie in to these lines again. Thomas has not disappointed - he scored an 89 VEE this fall. And we have been impressed with his kids correctness in general appearance as well as their dairy, angular bone patterns.

Spotlight Sale Lot #8
Today, we continue the theme of Sahara’s dam line with her Grand Dam - SGCH GGG DublinTweed Hazel 2*M

Hazel is one of the favorite does that we’ve ever been a part of breeding. She changed the direction of our Oberhasli herd with her extreme levelness of topline and correctness of feet and legs combined with the dairy strength we have always prioritized. Hazel also quickly captured our hearts with her fun personality.

Unfortunately, due to an kidding injury, Hazel aborted every year. But that didn’t stop her from being successful in and out of the show ring. She was twice top 2 at nationals including 1st/1st udder in 2017 as a yearling and then 2nd/2nd udder in 2019. Hazel also appraised 90 VEEE as a 3 yr old.

Hazel earned her long term retirement home here where she still enjoys hanging out in the milker pen.

Spotlight Sale Lot #8 update:

Today we spotlight Sahara’s Dam - GCH Harmody Hazeldor Nirobi. Nirobi has really taken off this year. She has been 8x BOB, 2x GCH, and 2x Res and topped her show season off with 3rd place 3 yr old at nationals.

Nirobi is one of our Hazel ET kids and really stood out as a dry yearling. Placing 4th at nationals and a member of our 1st place Jr Breeders trio. She truly excels in general appearance with extreme levelness of topline and correctness of feet and legs. She displays incredible balance to her mammary system and has a large overall area of udder attachment.

Nirobi capped off her summer by appraising 91 EEEE on Tuesday.

We have created a special page dedicated to Sahara on our website that we will continue to update as we get closer to the Spotlight Sale: https://www.harmodyalpines.com/sahara.php

It seems appropriate to introduce our second new addition this year - Redwood Hills Beau Favor. Favor joined us this spring while picking up a buck at Redwood Hills Farm. We love how well Favor fits into the style we are breeding for here. She is extremely dairy, while also having a long, level topline. Her udder displays tremendous overall area of udder support and beautiful extension to her foreudder.

Since joining the herd, we have inducted her into “travel all across the country” club and she has handled it so well.

She was 4th place 2 yr old at Nationals in Ky. 1x GCH and 1x Res at the Wyoming State Fair. 2x top 5 at Nebraska State Fair. Then this weekend she was 2x GCH, 1x BOB, and 1x BDIS at the Harvest show in Colorado. She has one last trip to Texas this weekend to finish off her first full (very successful)show season

Favor will be AI’ed to Fritz this fall.

We proudly present our 2024 Spotlight Sale Consignment: Harmody Thobi Sahara.

Sahara, an early March born Oberhasli doe kid, is one of our favorites born here in 2024. She gets her name from two iconic landmarks.

First - the great Sahara desert in Africa. Known for its vast plains and amazing views, the Sahara Desert is an impressive, expansive wonder - we hope to see Sahara have an impressive and expansive impact in her new herd.

Secondly, Sahara Las Vegas. The waterfall laden, Las Vegas Strip staple that is a destination for any Las Vegas vacation. Filled with people finding their stroke of luck, we wish to see Sahara be the stroke of luck your herd needs.

Whether we are talking about the desert or the resort, Sahara promises to bring a once in a lifetime experience to your herd. We are honored to offer Sahara for consignment in the Spotlight sale and excited to share more about what makes her special.

It’s been a few years since we brought in new does but we couldn't pass up a couple of opportunities this year. Introducing our first new addition: GCH Tempo Aquila Bastilla. Bastilla is a doe that we considered ordering a buck from but it never worked out for one reason or another. We are really excited to add her as a brood doe now. Unfortunately, Bastilla’s show career is over due to a mastectomy but she will hopefully contribute to our herd in other ways. This year we plan on flushing Bastilla in October then rebreeding her afterwards. For the flush, we will breed her to both Trademark and Wolf. Then we plan to rebreed her afterwards to Hoach’s CC Kazaa Klein. (Photo credit to Tempo Aquila Alpines)

We went straight from the Alpine show into a week of making sure Liora looked her best for the Colorama sale along with showing Toggenburgs and our one Oberhasli.

We are finally sitting down with a chance to reflect on Monday and the week.

The emotions of excitement and joy that come with a National Championship win are indescribable - there is no feeling quite like it :). But it also is a great reminder of why the energy and effort was worth it - the middle of the night kidding checks, the bottle feeding, the milking, the missed social events because of AI timings, etc. All "goat people" make these sacrifices without any promise of reward. To be entrusted with a goat like Zamara is truely a blessing and we are beyond humbled and thankful.

Today we are proud to share the now 2x National Champion:

GCH Harmody HVV Atara's Zamara 9*M

2024 ADGA National Champion & Best Udder, Alpine Total Performer
2024 1st/1st udder Aged Doe
2023 1st/1st udder 5 & 6 year old
2022 ADGA National Champion & Best Udder, Alpine Total Performer
2022 1st/1st udder 5 & 6 year old

22 hours after leaving we made it home. So thankful for safe travels both directions

Bid Early, Bid Often but most importantly Bid Last.

We are so excited to offer one of our best does and can’t wait to see her thrive in her new home.

07/17/2024

Todays Colorama update is about some of the other does in Liora’s pedigree that have had a moment of fame:

Liora is line bred on SGCH Harmody ES Con Bria 7*M. Bria was named as the 2011 ADGA National Champion and Best Udder along after being the Aged Doe class winner (with 1st udder) in 2010. Bria has been very influential in our herd and is behind every single doe currently we own. She scored a 92 EEEE (final score) along with winning multiple National Show Production awards.

Liora’s paternal grand dam is SGCH Olentangy Yukon Tellingly 9*M. Lingly’s claim to fame is being named the 2019 Alpine Reserve Best Udder at the national show in Oregon. She combines that impressive win with an LA score of 93 EEEE as a 4 year old. (Photos courtesy of Olentangy Alpines)

Lastly, SGCH Olentangy Lance Chrysocolla 5*M is Liora’s Paternal Great Granddam. She herself has an LA score of 93 EEEE along with being named the 2013 Alpine Reserve Best Udder at the ADGA National Show in Minnesota. (Photos courtesy of Olentangy Alpines).

Come see Liora and her many relatives in the Pavilion, section C, row P1.

Today we want to highlight Liora’s Sire - *B GCH Olentangy Chimay Trademark.

When we saw Tellingly in 2019, we knew we wanted a son. Later that week, Tellingly was named Reserve Best Udder at the 2019 ADGA National Show at only 2 years of age. 2 springs later, we were thrilled when a Chimay breeding (Premier Sire at the 2019 National Show) filled our order and Trademark joined our herd. We’ve been so happy with his daughters. Currently, over 1/3 of our milking herd is sired by Trademark.

Aliza and Hatikva join Liora in the 2 yr old, Trademark daughter category. Hatikva, a 1st freshener, easily finished her championship this year at our early club shows including a BIS win. Aliza followed suit with 4 straight GCH wins at a June show to earn her GCH

Ovation, a yearling, took a while to fill out after kidding but was worth the wait and made the trip to Kentucky as our sole Alpine yearling representative.

Yesterday in the Alpine National Show, Ovation stood 4th in the yearling class. In the 2 yr old class, Liora was 6th, Hatikva was 9th, and Aliza leaked out but still managed to place 17th.

Come see Liora and her Trademark relatives in the Pavilion, section C, row P1.

Colorama Consignment Update:

It seems only appropriate that today we highlight Liora’s Dam - GCH Harmody HVV Atara’s Zamara 9*M. Zamara has excelled in all three areas we emphasize in our herd - production, appraisal, and show wins.

She was the 2022 ADGA National Champion and Best Udder along with being named Total Performer. She followed that up by placing 1st in the 5&6 yr old class in 2023.

Today, Zamara became a 2 time National Champion. In a breed with almost 200 does, Zamara won the Aged Doe class, and went on to be named the 2024 Alpine National Champion and Best Udder. (More pics coming soon)

Outside of the National show ring, Zamara has been name Best Doe In Show multiple times in 5 different states. In Linear Appraisal, she has scored a 92 3 consecutive years (4 yr old, 5 yr old, and 6 yr old) with a permanent score of 05-04 92 EEEE. And finally as the top milker in the herd, Zamara has had two 305 day lactations with over 4,000 pounds of milk.

Once she stopped being stingy with her daughters, we have come to appreciate her strength as a brood doe. Zamara currently has 3 daughters now residing in the herd - Liora, Tirza, and Hatikva.

Come see Liora & the rest of her family members in the Pavilion, section C, row P1. You can take Liora home with a winning bid on Thursday July 18th!
