After seeing SGCH Olentangy Yukon Tellingly's yearling pictures we were excited to see her in person at the 2019 National show and we were not disappointed. We quickly got in line for a buck kid. She went on to be the 1st/1st udder 2-yr old and Res Best udder Alpine that week. We welcomed Trademark into our herd in the spring of 2021. Trademark's sire is the Premier Sire from the 2019 National show - Olentangy Accolade Chimay. Chimay has produced some beautiful daughters in the Redwood Hills herd along with others across the country.

Trademark really fit the bill of what we were looking for as we continue to work towards our vision of what we want in our alpine herd. We have bred Trademark to almost every sr doe we own the last two years and are very happy with what we are seeing in his kids.

Aria's littermate brother and Cantata's full brother, Mozart is full of potential. He has his dam's style and levelness across the topline. He is standing on a strong set of feet and legs and seems to be passing them to his kids. His first daughter to freshen, Raven, was the top yearling in our herd and continues to hold the honor of strongest 2-year-old.

We saw Manchester's dam, Mandalay, at the National Show in 2010 and fell in love with her. When Manchester was available the next year, we were super excited about buying him in partnership with James Haught of Rancho-Snowfall. Manchester is a very tall, dairy buck. We have not had the chance to use him much yet, but look forward to the kids coming in 2012.

We are so excited to announce the newest addition to our herdsire lineup for this fall - *B CH (pend) Olentangy Andretti Accolade. Accolade is a buck that is very dairy with a long, angular bone pattern and a lot of strength of bone. He is extremely strong in General Appearance with a beautiful long, level topline and a very correct front end assembly. Accolade is out of ++*B GCH Colquitt's Andretti who has sired several finished does. His daughters have gorgeous mammary systems that are well attached with a lot of capacity, while also showing off the strength of general appearance that we value. Accolade is out of an extremely prolific dam line. His dam is GCH Olentangy Yukon Adelite 7*M - 92 EEEE. Adelite is another doe that has proven herself in the showring placing 3rd with 1st udder at the 2015 ADGA National Show as well as picking up several Best in Show awards in the competitive Pacific Northwest. Accolade's littermate sister, GCH Olentangy Andretti Arany 8*M - 92 EEEE, is also well on her way. This year at Nationals, Arany placed 3rd with 1st udder in the 2-yr old class and followed that by winning Best Udder in Show at the Minnesota State Fair.

Accolade comes to us as a 2-yr old with daughters already showing well in the ring. He had two daughters compete at the ADGA National Show in Wisconsin. Teemant was named the 2017 ADGA Jr National Champion after placing first in the Jr yearling class. His other daughter, Microchip, also made it into the Jr champion line-up by placing 1st in the Jr kid class.

We can't wait to see how Accolade will add these strengths to our does and are very excited to see his first Harmody Alpine kids next spring. He will be bred to Mysteriosa, Aria, Atara, Coloratura, Symphony, and Overture.

Fritz was one of twin bucks where we were hoping for a daughter. But Fritz is a pretty good consolation prize. Out of the 2022 ADGA National Champion, Zamara, and a buck that has done wonders in our herd so far, Accolade, Fritz mixes two of our most successful lines together. We love the size and scale that Accolade added to Zamara while really appreciating the strong feet and legs that show through from Zamara. Fritz's full sister, Tirza, is one of our best young does.

In the summer of 2022 we took Fritz to two shows. He was shown 6 times - 5x 1st, 1x 2nd, 4x GCH, 1x Res, 4x BIS. Our philosophy is that it doesn't matter what the buck looks like but it is a lot of fun when the bucks turn out to be good!

Fritz was used lightly the first two falls but we have plans to use him more heavily going forward.
