(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 in 2007 with a
nice amount of milk; at the moment she is our second best milker,
after the prodigious Stellaluna. In 2009 she earned the E udder
linear appraisal that I always thought she deserved.
