What can I say about this special little doe? Her dam is one of my very
special favorite does and she has a lovely full sister in the herd. Rone is named after her big sister, Tempo I'm the Right One....who we
lost to a bad kidding just a month before Rone was born. And so we named
her after her big sister. Rone's dam is a beautiful doe that excels in
every area of the scorecard. She appraised 91 EEEE just a month after
kidding this year.
Rone was a tiny baby, born 10 days early when her dam showed signs of
toxemia from carrying quads. Rone was a very slow kid to grow...she
didn't particularly like milk and never stuffed herself like the rest of
our kids. Although healthy she was still well behind the rest of the
yearlings in late winter. I decided Rone needed special treatment and
moved her into a milking pen and let her come out with the milkers. She
is not a particularly bossy doe and she thrived with her special
treatment catching up to the rest of the yearlings by this summer.
Rone is nearly identical to her full sister, Kat,
who we loved as a first freshening 2 year old and she'd gotten even
better as a 2nd freshener. Judging from her older sister who was also
slow to mature, we expect that Rone will take more time to come into her
own but we feel she will be worth the wait!
Rone will be bred to Feisty for April kids.
