LA 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 shot below is for her 6th freshening at 7 years old; based on my barn records, at 7 years of age she produced more milk than ever. Now on DHI she will have a chance to prove it. We've retained her 2006 daughter by Rio, Danu, her 2007 daughter by Hunk, Aphrodite, and her 2008 daughter by Max, who needs a really special name!

News Flash: I am very excited that Ariadne earned a linear appraisal score of 91 EEEE this year (2008)at nine years of age; I've always believed this doe was very special. Every kid she gives me makes me love her even more.
