GRASSHILL BUCKS 2009:
Some of Their Sires
N.B. Listed below are some of the sires of our
bucks born 2009. All of these sires have
been carefully selected for what we feel is the best type and production
we have to offer … both total production and high components are considered. With a few exceptions, most of these Herdsires are In Use Here & Not Available For Sale
… Following this list, some of our Available Sires are listed …
Lad: An 'Excellent' grandson of Tara
(VG-89, EX mammary, 2430 kg 4.7f 3.8p) and Lady (EX overall &
mammary, 2471 kg 3.7f 3.2p), this buck is
already proving that he can leave both Good Type & Good Production. A limited number of Lad sons and grandsons are
available for sale. Nighthawk and Nightrider: (Nighthawk has been SOLD)
full brothers from a
pedigree with high production on each side.
The dam Naomi is a long, tall, level doe with 1288 kg 4.0f 3.8p in 305 days from just one side
of the udder (she had a bad case of
mastitis before kidding the first time.. this was strictly a management
problem). The sire of these bucks ‘Trailblazer’ combines 2 of our best
families for production with records over 2000 kg on both sides…his dam’s last
record (Tara) was 2430 kg 4.7f
3.8p. Both this doe and the
paternal dam of Trailblazer have milked straight through on at least one
occasion, because we couldn’t get them dry before kidding the next time. These are nice bucks with lots of body capacity. Diego: High production and component, EX does on each side of the pedigree. Stylish dam Dorothy EX has 3 prior completed records with milk
up to 1975 kg (305d), Sire’s dam Sweet Pea EX:
a 100% sister to Naomi (mentioned above) is also further back on the sire’s side. This is a very well-made buck with good feet and legs. Dynamo: Dorothy (EX) x Lad. Lots of high production and component potential on both
sides of this pedigree (see info for Dorothy and Lad above). Dynamite: Dare (VG-89, EX mammary, super udder) x Dynamo (above). - SOLD Although not huge, this Dynamo son is very well-balanced like his dam ‘Dare’, an average-sized doe with much greater than average type and production… 2yr7m 305d: 2461 kg 3.7f 3.1p. Dare’s dam: EX overall & EX mammary Knight Prince: A dairy, long, well-made buck from a VG doe
with 1804 kg 4.8f 3.2p

daughter ‘Delilah’ and sire ‘Dynamo’ (info above).
Tribute: Named out of
a growing respect for his dam ‘ The sire of Tribute is Dynamo, from the same EX dam as Diego (above) i.e. Dorothy. Dynamo’s sire is Lad, grandson of Lady EX (2471 kg 3.7f 3.2p) and
paternal grandson of Lad’s first 9 daughters to complete 305 day records (at an
average freshening age of 12.2 mo) have averaged 1390 kg 4.0f 3.4p for an average BCA % of 302milk,

Corporal: born April 26, 2007. ‘Copper’ x ‘Canuck’. - SOLD This is a buck we originally kept for our own use on account of the high milk production on both sides of his pedigree (dam: 2155 kg 3.1f 3.0p, 2nd dam: 1901 kg 4.2f 3.3p), also because of the strong conformation displayed by his dam which has carried through to Corporal. Canuck’s sire:‘Champ’ (his dam EX,
2074 kg 3.8f 2.9p; Canuck’s maternal sister is one of our best all-round does,
classified VG-89 EX mammary (still too young to score EX overall) with 2yr11m

3.3p. Shanaghan: born Feb 19, 2008. - SOLD A buck we originally planned to use as a herdsire,
but didn’t have as much use for due to the similarity in bloodlines with many
of our does. Buckaroo: born June 29, 2008. ‘Bluebell’ x ‘Target Nova’. A younger buck we kept from 2008 from one of our first-freshening ‘Lad’ daughters – a doe with nice conformation, good udder, and 1yr2m 325d: 1528 kg 4.1f 3.4p. The sire is a son of Naomi (Nightrider’s dam) and the full
