In
March of 2001, Zina delivered a beautiful snow white buck and a
nice solid black doe who had white ears. The kids were strong,
healthy and grew nicely. The doe kid was named Zephyr, was
marked as a keeper kid, grew nicely and did fairly well in the
show ring but was basically unremarkable. As a dry yearling she
showed good strength but again wasn't particularly outstanding. As
she matured through her pregnancy we began to get a glimpse of her
future. She freshened with a beautiful udder, began to catch the
judges eyes and quickly made her mark. As a second freshening 3
year old she blossomed into a spectacularly lovely doe. She
quickly finished her GCH and embarked on an all too short show
career that included many BOB wins along with several Best in Show
wins. In 2005 she got 6th place in a very strong Four year old
class at the National show. All through her show career Zephyr
continued to milk well and she became the center piece of our show
string and breeding program. An ADGA judge walked over to me at
one show and shook my hand saying that Zephyr had the most perfect
rear udder he had ever seen on a Nubian in all the years he had
been judging. Sire: *++B SGCH Ladies Blue CMD Jesse James Dam: GCH Reuel Zif's Blue Zina 8*M

.. Rufus was, over all, perhaps the most correct doe we have ever bred. She had an exceptionally high tight udder both fore and rear and was powerful without loss of femininity. At the Nationals in Sacramento (1999) she was the 4th place four year old. She was chosen Best of Breed at three open shows in 2002 as well as Best Doe In Show at one. She was a large and powerful doe. Rufus dearly loved the show ring and if she ever slipped her collar on the ringside tie line, she headed straight for the ring falling in line in what ever class was being shown. We had a hard time heading her off at the gate. Some time when she was four years old she suffered a shoulder injury that seemed to heal on its own. As she aged that injury began to take its toll and eventually resulted in our having to put her down . It was a very sad day. Although we would have liked to see Rufus milk more, she was a beautiful doe and has left an indelible mark on our herd. We have semen from *B Rufus' JJ Ryan, and *B Rufus' Silver Raynor in our tank and use them from time to time in an attempt to bring Rufus' tremendous stature and strength into specific lines. Her daughters remaining in our herd are: Reuel Rufus' JJ Ruth Reuel Rufus' Royal Rhesa

....J.J. was a upstanding buck
with a beautiful rear leg set and the most open and rounded
escutcheon that we have ever seen. His mother was outstanding
doe, she classified 90 (E, E, E, E) at six. We have long admired
Trish and are thrilled to have her genes in our herd. Her son
had a delightful temperament and was a joy to work with. His
daughters were very nice with wonderful angulation and
temperament. JJ has proven himself to be a consistent buck
siring uniformly long, smooth daughters with lovely mammaries.
J.J. really filled out as a 4 year old and at 350 pounds was
truly a gentle giant of a buck. He gently romanced his does and
treated them as a gentleman should. We are very proud of this
buck and his offspring. He has sired numerous Permanent
Champions, Superior Genetics animals, and Does that score in the
90's. His Senior Get of Sire was undefeated in 2004 and again in
2007. Our get of Jesse James placed 6th at the 2005 nationals
and we will continue to use him as much as we can through AI. It
was a very sad day late in January 2007 when we had to say good
bye to our favorite Old Man. He has and will continue to be
greatly missed. We will continue to use Jesse James on carefully
selected does via AI and are very thankful to have a supply of
his semen in our tank.
