In 2010 we had the chance to meet Pat Adels and see her beautiful Munchin'Hill animals.  I knew then that the Munchin'Hill herd was one that I wanted to keep in mind if the opportunity came that I could bring in a new herdsire.​ Fast-forward to 2014. When watching the Alpine show, a beautiful black doe entered the 2 yr old class--and she took my breath away.  She was long, tall, elegant with a beautiful mammary system--and the style that made me go "WOW!"  She was very correct in general appearance and I knew then that I wanted a son out of her. 

​

The stars aligned and God smiled on our little herd--and Aragorn joined us in 2016.  We bred EVERYTHING to him--and his first kid crop didn't disappoint us.  His kids were long, level, correct, with wide straight front ends and beautiful angulation when viewed from the side and rear.  He has had three kids earn their dry legs, with one going Best in Show (the same show where she won the District 5 Alpine Specialty). 

​

In 2018 we freshened 4 milking daughters in our herd, and saw two other milking daughters in another herd.  The does were consistently correct, had beautifully-attached mammaries and were everything we hoped for.  Two of his daughters were shown at the 2018 ADGA National Show; one was 6th place and one was 14th. ​In 2019, we showed two of his 2-year-old daughters, and they traded back and forth on topping their class.  He has had several CH daughters and we look forward to using him via AI in the future.

Thus far, Aragorn has been the most influential sire that we have ever owned and we are so glad to have had him while we did.  We include him here as a tribute to what he has done for us, and also because we are using his son, Maple Wind Hamilton (out of GCH Maple Wind Fantine 5*M) via AI.
