+B INAVALE GALAXY

      What a fantastic surprise this buck has been.  When we purchased Galaxy it was by pedigree only and sight unseen.  He was a mature buck with just a few daughters that were still quite young.  We used him with caution at first and then Hill's Acres GXY Lucky Lacerta 11*M (LA: 1-06 88 VEVV) was born.  One of our dearest friends, Judi Hoy, came to visit for Teresa's birthday and immediately claimed "Lace" as her own and her first Nubian!  We laughed and wouldn't you know it, one of the first times Judi showed her, Lace received her milking leg as a yearling!  Since she had earned her dry leg as a junior, she now only needed one leg finish and was still just a year old!  We had such high hopes for her.  Her first kidding she gifted us with Hill's Acres It's My Fable, the 2002 Reserve National Junior Champion, and then did not settle as a two year-old.  We lost her, at home, while we were at the National Show the same day Fable was named Rsv. National Junior Champion.  What a way to spoil the thrill of a lifetime.  In any case, Galaxy has other beautiful daughters such as Hill's Acres GXY Nova, a first freshening two year-old who placed 9th of 71 at the 2002 Nationals and Hill's Acres GXY Cassiopeia the 1st pl. Junior Yearling.  He was also the sire of the 1st place Nubian Junior Get-Of-Sire in Pueblo.
     Now that we have a few daughters to look at, we can say with confidence what we feel he has to offer.  Large goats with level toplines!  Along with that he will add length of rib, overall length of body and sometimes dramatic improvements in length from hips to pins.  The rumps of his daughters are generally quite level from thurl to thurl.  However, he can shorten extension to the fore in some cases, but not always.
     Galaxy was never shown, as he was scared to death of anything on two legs.  hence the reason the picture above is of him just standing in the field.  You can see by this picture how long and level he himself was.  He has also passed, and is only available via AI.  We are still using him quite heavily in the herd by way of the little popsicles.  We have great ideas for a Senior-Get from this buck, be watching for it.
