We've been planning on bringing a buck kid in from this line for a while now, and we couldn't be more excited for it to finally be happening! I've been a fan of CH Autumn-Acres SS Sage for some time now, but when it was time for us to add a LaMancha herd sire she was taking a year off. She had two up and coming yearling milker daughters that we're the same angular, correct style so we jumped at the opportunity to reserve a kid.
​
Sage is a powerful, yet angular and correct doe that's proven herself in the show ring with a ADGA National Reserve Champion win in 2021 and 18x Best In Show wins in a competitive area. She is a daughter of Autumn-Acres Ace of Spades who had done a lot for the Autumn Acres herd. Our buck Jack's dam Autumn-Acres R Sweet Saffron is a long, correct and extremely angular doe with plenty of potential. Her littermate sister is the same style, both of them having a number junior doe wins as kids. With a great dam line, Saffron also has a special paternal line. His dam is the littermate of 2023 ADGA National Show Premier Sire +B Autumn-Acres Titanium and sire of the 2023 ADGA National Champion GCH Kasdemur's Mambo #5 6*M EX93. Sage has other offspring that have done well including Autumn-Acres Sweet Sasha who was the 1st place milking yearling at the 2021 ADGA National Show, and 2nd Place with 1st Udder two year old in 2022.
​
Jack's sire Gun Metal is a young buck, but has proven sires on both sides of his pedigree. His sire is +B Autumn-Acres Titanium, whose pedigree is also represented on Jack's maternal side for a fun line breeding! This also makes Gun Metal a paternal brother to 2023 ADGA National Champion GCH Kastdemur's Mambo #5 6*M EX93. Gun Metal's dam Vineyard View Raspberry Beret 3*M EX92 is an incredibly long bodied doe, with a beautiful shape to her udder floor. Her sire is +*B SG Rockin-CB KR Hoku who has a number of National Show class winners already and has been influential on modern LaManchas.
