Champion Jr in 2022 as a dry yearling
Res Champion Jr in 2021 as a Jr kid (only time shown)
At her first show ever, in Sept 2021, Niva not only won the junior kid class, but was named Reserve Champion! Her sister was awarded Champion! This year, at a show with deep and tough competition, Niva was named Champion. She is a quiet, mellow little doe who is easy to have around and so good in the show ring. Her dam, Sonview Ranch Litzy, is doing well in the competitive shows in Texas and her granddam, Sonview Ranch Gemma, is still winning in shows (as recently as Sept 2022) in Arkansas.
Niva is bred to Sonview Ranch Lando and due in March 2023

Res Champion Jr (to her paternal sister)
Praise was my top pick out of all my 2022 doe kids. At her very first show, at 3 months old, she was 2nd to her herdmate in the first ring but won her class in ring 2 and was named Champion Jr!
Praise is bred to Rosasharn HRS Clasic Caballero and is due in March 2023

Champion at 5 months old
Res Champion twice to 2 different herdmates
Prize is a doe kid that I offered for sale. When no one had chosen her after 5 months, I opted to keep her, clipped her and took her to the next show. In the first ring, she went 2nd to Posy, another doe kid that had been for sale that I ended up keeping. Posy went Champion Jr under that judge. In the next ring, Prize won the class and was named Res Champion when her paternal sister, Neevia, a dry yearling, was named Champion. Under the third judge, Prize again won the class and was again Res Champion, but this time to a different herdmate. At the next show, she was 2nd in her class when a different herdmate won. At her last show, she won the class and went on to be awarded Champion Jr! The icing on the cake was when her paternal sister, Praise, was then named Res Champion Jr!

(Alethia DOH Cosmic Wonder x Twin Pears Jalena 1*M VVEV 87 (4-01))
Champion Jr at 4 months old
I have high hopes for this doe kid. I can hardly wait for her to freshen because I think she is going to be strong in all areas of the scorecard. She did very well in the show ring as a kid, placing 1st or 2nd under 8 of the 10 judges, in classes with great competition, and winning Champion at her last show!
Paragon was bred to Rosasharn CB Katmandoo and is due in May 2023

For your information: Sonview Ranch Corey is a paternal brother to GCH Sonview Ranch Fancy C.C. 1*M EEEE 91 (7-00.) who won the aged doe class at the 2019 ADGA National Show and was also awarded best udder in class there. She was also a very good milker, producing 919 lb with 59 lb fat and 44 lb protein in 270 days at 7 years of age. Corey’s dam, Castle Rock IM Skype is a littermate sister to ARMCH-GCH CRF Castle Rock Tuscan Sun 1*M *D VEEE 90, the dam of the 2019 ADGA National Champion with National Best Udder of Breed.
Michelangelo’s dam: GCH Sonview Ranch Delightful Dale finally got to enter the show ring as a milker in 2021, and earned her permanent championship in short order. She was appraised on 5/31/21, scoring VEVE 89 as a 2nd freshening 3 year old; with a 33 in dairyness, 33 in rump angle, 34 in fore udder attachment and 36 in rear udder height! She is also turning out to be a good little milker, producing 934 lb of milk, 61 lb of fat and 40 lb of protein in 305 days when she was a first freshening yearling.

Gunsmoke is a grandson of GCH Algedi Farm Drops of Jupiter, SGCH AGS Rosasharn’s UMT Tupelo Honey, SG Algedi Farm MB Manuka Honey AND SGCH AGS Rosasharn’s TL Zenith!
SGCH Sonview Ranch Emmy 2*M VEEE 90 (07-01) was 10th place at the 2019 ADGA National Show in the 5- 6 year old class And she milked 1134 lb, with 83 lb fat and 53 lb protein in 306 days plus miking 966 lb with 72 lb fat and 42 lb protein in only 259 days last year at 7 years of age. Emmy is an outstanding all around doe. Not only does she milk well, appraise highly and excel in the show ring, she has been a wonderful, consistent producer of quality kids all these years AND to top it off, she is the sweetest, most compliant doe in our herd and she passes on her amazing disposition to her kids.
Posy was on the doe kid sales list for months for only $700, but when no one had snatched her up after 5 months, I opted to keep her, so I clipped her and took her to the next show. She won her class, and went on to be named Champion Jr in the very first ring of her very first show with outstanding competition.

Dam:Sonview Ranch Firebird 2*M VEV+ 86 (3-03)
(Alethia SHH Gunsmoke N Lace x Sonview Ranch Grace 1*M V+VV 89 (3-02)
This unassuming little doe kid was a solid performer in the show ring all last year, as an intermediate kid. Her paternal sister, Paragon, usually beat her but once in awhile, Phoenix beat her sister for the win. In 2022, Phoenix placed top 3 in very competitive classes, 8 of the 11 times shown, winning her class under 2 of those judges.
Phoenix will be a dry yearling for 2023
Sonview Ranch Sheer Bliss
Date of birth: 3/14/2021
Sire: Castle Rock Deimos
( Castle Rock Jasper Quilles *B x Castle Rock Aphrodite VEVV 89 (6-05))
Dam: GCH Poppy Patch HB Tiffany 6*M EEEV 90 (7-00) (pendingADGA)
( Algedi Farm MB Honeymoon Bay ++*Bx Algedi Farm DJ Just Like Honey 5 *M)
This doe kid brought such happiness with her birth, thus her name – Sheer Bliss. She is the first doe kid I have gotten from my very special, much loved Poppy Patch HB Tiffany 6*M EEEV 90. Naturally, I have high hopes for her (and her twin sister, Extra Blessing!)
I only got to take Bliss & Blessing to 2 shows as kids. At the first show, Bliss was 2nd in the large class right behind her twin sister who won that class. At the next show, Bliss won the class with Blessing standing 2nd. Exciting either way!
It was disappointing when Bliss did not settle when first bred but she got to go to a few shows as a dry yearling. She was 6th in her class at the first show, 3rd under the next judge, 3rd at the next show and then 4th in a big class at another show. She ended her show season on a high note by winning her class at the last show. Thankfully, she bred with no problem in fall of 2022.
Bliss was bred to Sonview Ranch Lando and is due March 2023

Dam: Twin Pears Jalena 1*M VVEV 87 (4-01))
( Pholia Farm TS Shawn Spencer +*B x Elfin Acres B Josette)
Delight is one of those doe kids who got to stay based on her pedigree and I am hoping she matures to her potential. She was not a pick for my show string as a kid nor as a dry yearling, but hopefully she is bred, will freshen with the beautiful udder I expect and continue to improve in all areas of the scorecard.
Delight was bred to Sonview Ranch Lando and is due March 2023

Dam:Sonview Ranch Emily
(SG Castle Rock Bentley *B+ x AGS Sonview Ranch Darcy)
I kept this doe kid for her udder potential. She is not my idea of a “show doe,” so I was pleased when she placed 3rd, (only behind 2 of her herdmates,) under a judge whose opinion I really value, in her show ring debut in Aug 2022.

(Alethia DOH Cosmic Wonder x Curbstone Valley Dulce Mia 8*M +VV+ 82 (1-02) at 8 days fresh)
Pasha is another doe kid who got to stay for her udder potential. She did not make my show string as a kid this year, but I sure am looking forward to getting to see her udder when she freshens.
Pasha was bred to Rosasharn HRS Clasic Caballero and is due in May 2023

Pelia started off her show career by winning a nice class in Aug 2022, under a highly respected judge. I am excited about this little show doe. She was my last born kid of the year, so I will keep her as a dry yearling, with hopes that she will continue to mature beautifully as I look forward to the 2023 ADGA National Show.
Pelia will be a dry yearling in 2023
