Please entertain my buckling hoarding obsession!
Who else is ready and planning for their 2026 breeding season?!? Kidding season just ended for me and I’m ready to go again while others are just getting started or in the thick of it!
Here’s my lineup of Alpine junior herdsires!
First up:
PLEASANT-GROVE MENTION BJORN
https://genetics.adga.org/PedigreePrint.aspx?RegNumber=A002487536
BJORN is growing nicely and I’m hopeful to use him extensively this fall. PUREBRED and linebred on ROCHESTER, he was chosen to target better front ends and brisket extension, without sacrificing great mammaries which I’m expecting to see out of him. Be sure to check out his dam, PLEASANT-GROVE MARCO DIRECTIVE
Second:
HOANBU RR PARADIGM
https://genetics.adga.org/PedigreePrint.aspx?RegNumber=A002485432
You guessed it! That RR stands for ROSE’S ROCHESTER! Having access to a live cover ROCHESTER son has me pretty eager for breeding season already! I’ve seen MARRAN X HOANBU genetics once already with the beautiful HOANBU RR PASTA PRIMAVERA who I’ve got to show personally for my good friend Holly at a few shows. And let me tell ya, that goat shows herself! She was also BJDIS at NAILE 2025 and let’s just say I’ve seen her as a ff and did not hesitate getting PARADIGM. He also ties in FORGIVEN genetics, being a great-grand son, which will blend nicely down the road in my American project.
Third:
THORNEWOOD NSFM MIDNIGHT SUN
https://genetics.adga.org/PedigreePrint.aspx?RegNumber=A002487880
I’m extremely excited about the potential I’m seeing from this young AMERICAN buck kid. I love setting him up and can’t help but to admire his strength of bone and length throughout. FORGIVEN genetics have proven to cross well in the American gene pool and this is just another example of that. He has a solid front end, level topline, nice angulation, and is smoothly blended throughout. Plus…. he is one of the sweetest kids from this year’s batch of kids.
