2008: EEEE 91 |
Ariadne
was the first kid born here, and is a favorite--the older she
gets, the more dear to me she becomes. She is naturally uphill
and level--one of those does that looks great just walking around
the pasture, and has only become more beautiful with age. She
has the elegant silhouette characteristic of Paco's daughters;
classifier Sandi Liska called her "a beautiful profilin'
doe." Ari milked 3.7 lbs with 5.1% butterfat at 54 days fresh
on one-day test in 2004, to earn her *D. Udder shots below are
for her 6th freshening at 7 years old and her 8th freshening at
9. We've retained her 2006 daughter by Rio, Danu,
her 2007 daughter by Hunk, Aphrodite,
and her 2008 daughter
by Max, Ariane, and all three 2009
daughters by Ushikai, Arista, Aria, and Althea.
Ariadne
earned a linear appraisal score of 91 EEEE in 2008, at nine years
of age; I've always believed this doe was very special. The appraiser's
quote was "Beautiful, beautiful doe." Every kid she
gives me makes me love her even more.
