Dango and his twin sister Fantasia came into this world 4/3/2015 and the pair surpassed all of our expectations from their moment of arrival. (Fantasia was retained and this year, 2017, will be her first kidding…we are so excited about February as she is bred to CH Castlekeep Easy Sam!)
But this story is about Dango! Look out little buck world! Win, Win, Win….our first trip out was to Sedalia Missouri 2015 when he was a little guy and he’s never looked back. He was a “natural” from the very beginning. Self assured, calm…simply had to hold his collar and he would stroll right in with his head held high and his tail on high alert. Set him up? No big deal…just lightly touch his back – he was there. Stop – go – turn – he was magic – no mischief – just focus. No flashy colors….just pure class. He turned many heads and many offers were made. Nope, this boy was destined to come back home to Castlekeep – I couldn’t let him go.
A year passed ….our next outing….Fredonia Kansas…then Sedalia’s Autumn Romance rolled around followed by Fall Frenzy in Mountain Grove (the largest 6 ring buck show in the USA). Our Yearling….continued the streak of his buckling days (once Castlekeep Easy Sam was a finished Champ & out of the picture). FanDango owned it ….all the way! And as a yearling! He finished out in Mountain Grove Missouri – Fall Frenzy. We entered all 6 rings up against a field of stunning big boys with lots of breeding behind them. So….what happened? Castlekeep FanDango – Senior Grand Champion – Ring 1,2,3,5 (Sr. Reserve in ring 4). I scratched him from ring 6 – no need…..he’d already made it! What a weekend it was – our yearling became a finished Champion!
It’s December 2016 as I write this post and I want to introduce you to FanDango’s son – Castlekeep Hombre’ and doeling Castlekeep Hepburn (Heppi)….now 6 months old….but I’ll save that for another day. Perhaps you’ll check back in!
Sire: CH Castlekeep Farm Freedom Dam: Castlekeep Echo. His first “get” will arrive June 19, 2016 – Bred to Castlekeep Fanci Pantz. We are so excited to see what this young buck will produce!
