Each fall, the American Dairy
Goat Association holds a sale of select quality dairy goats in conjunction with
their annual convention. The 2006 event was held Oct. 21 in
Milwaukee, WI. We're delighted that this special little doe was accepted
and became
the First Nigerian Dwarf in the Spotlight Sale!
Rote sold for $1400 to Gregory Anderson of Haslet, Texas.

Dam CH AGS Buttin'Heads Polished Apple LA EEVV 90
(2005)
Apple is shown finishing as a third freshening 4 year old in
mid-May 2006 (Rear udder shot inset was taken about a month later). In September
at Sandwich Fair in Illinois, she showed her staying power going RGCH (to the
finishing win of Rising Son's maternal granddam, Rita) in a large entry. She
joined her dam and Rita to win the Best 3 Females class, and her sister Rose, to
win the Produce of Dam class. Two days and over 500 miles later in the ANDDA
Specialty at the Tennessee State Fair, she was 2nd place 4 year old (to the GCH),
helped repeat the two group class wins and joined her Dam to win the Dam and
Daughter class. Added to everything else, she's a super sweet doe who loves to
give kisses. This was the first year Apple produced doe kids.

Sire Buttin'Heads MOH Rising Son
We don't usually show bucks, but despite being dam-raised and
having a broken leg last fall, since his offspring was nominated for the
Spotlight Sale, Rising Son made his debut in the show ring. In limited showing
he picked up 2 legs toward his championship. Rising Son doesn't have any
daughters with udders yet, so his ancestors and other relatives will have to indicate his potential.
