Amarugia does are complemented by our herd sires. Our senior herd sire, Luch Intimidator is sired by Powell/Holman 13R *Ennobled* and out of Mzuri Sufi. Intimidator's first daughters hit the show ring winning multiple grand and reserve championships and top ten placings in both open and youth at the 2006 ABGA Nationals. At Nationals in 2006 Clarence Luchini found an outstanding young buck for Ryan to add as our junior herd sire. Ash Creek Texas Star is sired bythe world renowned RRD Gauge *Ennobled* and out of IBGA National Champion Ash Creek Bright Star *Ennobled*. We are very excited about what his superior genetic package will add to our program and are already seeing some great kids out of Tex.
In 2003 Ryan was fortunate to win grand champion wether at the Missouri State Fair with one of the first show wethers he raised. That year Ryan had the honor of representing the Missouri Meat Goat Producers Association as the first grand champion wether to appear in the Missouri State Fair of Sale of Champions. Since that time, Ryan continued to successfully show wethers with numerous winnings including reserve champion wether at the 2004 Missouri State Fair. Ryan also bred the 2006 San Francisco Cow Palace reserve champion wether.
2007 was a great year for the Amarugia Boer Goat farm. Our junior percentage doe, Amarugia Shimmer sired by LUCH Intimidator, racked up 50 ABGA points for the year with two Overall Grands and consistently placing at the top of her classes. It was a good year for bucks. Ash Creek Texas Star won an Overall Grand and two Reserve Overall Grands in 2007, along with several division Grands and Reserves. LUCH Intimidator had an excellent year, earning 35 ABGA points and never placing less than Grand Senior Buck. He topped off his year with a second place ribbon at ABGA nationals.
2008 Amarugia Thunderstruck and Amarugia Aphrodite earned the last points towards ennoblement for Intimidator and S08. Thunderstruck will be inspected in early 2009.
NEWSFLASH - Amarugia Thunderstruck passed visual inspection 4/25/09. Luch Intimidator and Luch S08 "Mollie" are now pending final paperwork to confirm their ENNOBLEMENT.
We hope you enjoy our animals and we encourage you to make an appointment to come out to our farm or at least say hi at the shows!
