We were so thrilled when Laurie Acton offered us Rone (Tempo I'm the Right One). She was dry having lost a set of late gestation triplets and we waited anxiously to freshen her this spring. Her year off had given her so much body capacity and her udder was simply stunning. I couldn't wait to show her this spring!

And then tragedy struck...Rone went into labor on April 1 in the middle of one of our year's worst snowstorms. Roads were closed and we could barely make it to the barn....and no matter what I did, I could not deliver this kid. A call to our vet (over an hour away on a good day) yielded his promise to get here as soon as he could. Seven hours later he arrived and did a C-section but Rone never recovered and we lost her the next day.

To say I was heartbroken is an understatement and this little buck was all I had left of my precious girl. Rone's Legacy is her legacy and a little piece of that lovely doe gone too soon. I hope he is able to sire some daughters to follow in their granddam's hoofprints.
