'Megan says that another perk to judging is being able to handle animals, not just admire them from a distance. She says that seeing and feeling many Nubians all over the country, then studying their pedigrees helps her make breeding decisions and advance her own herd. For example, when judging a show in May 2003 in Illinois, Megan placed GCH Willow Run AT Erazel Grand Champion. Later that day, she phoned home from the airport, to tell her mom about the show and mentioned Erazel. Kristine responded that she had just read the new issue of UCN, which included an ad for Willow Run AT Enferno, littermate to Erazel. Still at the airport, Megan immediately called Patti Dean and told her that she wanted to purchase Enferno. As Megan says, "He turned out to be a pretty good buy, since his sister Erazel was National GCH just two months later!" Enferno is bred to several Lakeshore Farms does for spring '04 kids.' |

At LakeShore, all breedings are planned after closely evaluating each does strengths and weaknesses, and then selecting a buck to compliment her. Knowing that one buck can't fix everything, several bucks are used to fine tune the herd. We are firm believers in the concept of line breeding in order to get the consistency so desired in Nubians. Now we proudly present the other half of the LakeShore herd.
