"Shankara" - Vanjust GAD Shankara​

Shankara is a 2024 first freshener bred at Vanjust, one of the most accomplished Oberhasli programs in the country. Her dam is GCH Vanjust OBRH Lahini EEEE 92 ↗, a doe who has placed at the ADGA National Show in three separate years – 1st place Intermediate Kid in 2019, 4th place two-year-old in 2021, and 2nd place in the five and six year old class in 2024. Placing at Nationals at five and six years old is the mark of a doe who keeps getting better, and Lahini is exactly that kind of animal. Her maternal grandsire, *B Ober-d’Rainbow CSO Hush, is the sire of the 2019 ADGA National Champion and National Best Udder.

Her maternal granddam is Vanjust LEE Jasmeet 4*M VVEE 90 ↗, a doe with her own National Show placements in 2019 and 2021. Her sire, Goating Around Diesel EX90 VEE, brings an Excellent score and structural correctness – a scored EX90 buck is uncommon in any breed, and it shows up in Shankara’s stature and carriage. Several of her paternal half-sisters have earned Champion titles at other operations, including at Coyote Ledge and Vanjust.

Shankara freshened for the first time in spring 2026. She is building her first lactation and has not yet been appraised or DHI tested. What she brings right now is the full depth of a Vanjust pedigree with three generations of National-level relevance directly behind her, combined with a sire line that scores in the upper tier structurally. Her full sister, Vanjust GAD Reika, remains at Vanjust – a buyer can see exactly what this breeding produces.
