Hope pictured as a 5th freshening 5yr old May 2011	For the longest time, my mother talked about adding an Oberhasli to the herd.  I continually balked at the idea of adding a Swiss anything to the herd, however I ultimately gave in.  After a LONG search, we were so pleased to order a doe kid from the Sparkling Acres herd in New Jersey.  Hope's arrival to our farm in 2006 was indeed the start of something great, and I cannot thank the Von Thuns enough for allowing Hope (the last Kiara daughter!) to come to PA.  Hopie is the foundation of the Oberhasli portion of our herd. As I had been warned by the Von Thun family, I have become totally hooked by these special dairy goats.   Hope dazzled us as a yearling milker, finishing her CH from the AOP class where she competed (and won!!) against both Saanens and Alpines. She continued to amaze us in 2008 winning several BOB awards and being in contention for BDIS with our own fabulous Cori. She placed 13th in a HUGE 2yr old class at the Louisville Nationals in 2008. Hope is a beloved, shining star here at our farm and we hope she will grace us with doe kids in the future!   Show Record 2009   7xBOB  (out of 10 times shown) 2010   9xBOB  (out of 9 times shown) 2010 Nationals - 3rd place 4yr old with 2nd udder We had trouble getting Hope to settle AI in 2011 -- and believe me, we tried!  She was finally bred to Chase for an April kidding.

Suri - May 2011 3yrs old	Suri is our second Obie from the Von Thuns. She is a beautiful doe with lots of width and excellent dairy character. Suri placed 11th in the Senior Kid class at the 2008 Nationals. Suri has just delivered twin bucks sired by Cream of Kansas' Time Delay  (Nu-life Delight x FDF Pleasant Fields My Time)!  I can't help but be disappointed that there was no doe kid.  One buck is already reserved, but the second buck is still available.  Suri has really developed quite the mammary system and we are extremely excited to get her in the show ring for 2011! Show Record 2009  8x1st, 2xRGCH, 4xGCH, and 1xBOB           (out of 10 times shown) 2010  5x1st, 1x2nd, 2xRCH, 3xGCH           (out of 6 times shown) We are super excited to announce that Suri has been confirmed bred to Tonka-Tails Tipperary Prince for a March freshening.  The first doe will be retained.  We may retain a buck kid as well.
