(Upper
left photo by Dennis Whitlock, lower left photo by Pat Karohl--thanks,
Mom!) Party approaches my image of the ideal Nigerian Dwarf; she
may not be perfect, but she is just beautiful. She is a pleasure
to look at, fun to show, and a joy to milk, and there is not much
about her that I would change. Our linear appraiser agreed with
me that she has a near ideal medial, rare in a Nigerian, and also
commended her for her dairyness and exceptional rear udder height
and arch. She earned her AR as well as her MCH this year with
a nice amount of milk; at the moment she is our second best milker,
after the prodigious Stellaluna. We hope to really see what Party
can do on milk test next year, without the pressure of multiple
show weekends in a row.
