We waited a long time
for this little doeling and were thrilled at
what a beautiful little thing she turned out to be. Then we were even more
impressed when she freshened with an out of this world mammary!! Velvet excels in dairy
character and body capacity. She is sharp over the withers, clean and
incurving in the thighs and has a long, extremely dairy neck.
Velvet also excels in width of chest and depth of both fore and rear
rib. And her udder is to die for!! She has a beautiful, extended fore
udder and a high, wide
rear udder with very correct teat placement. The appraiser pointed out
that she would love to see
this doe as a mature doe. She appraised 87 with an E in dairy character
and mammary. We were thrilled when Velvet earned her SG designation last fall.
We were very disappointed when Velvet didn't settle this
year and we look forward to her kidding again next year. Consequently she
has not been shown but has grown and developed tremendously during her
"vacation" this year. Her dam, Satin, was he 5th place 2 year old at
the 2002 National Show, 4th 3 year old at the 2003 National Show and part
of the 1st place Dairy Herd, and 5th Aged Doe at the 2007 National Show.
We were heartbroken when Velvet aborted in November
of this year but she has been bred back to Mac for early June kids. She has come to her milk and has an amazing mammary so can't wait to see
her in full production. No doe kids available.
