Penny is a combination
of some of the best that Flat Rocks has to offer--we think she is
going to be really special. Out of a stunning doe line-bred on Flat
Rocks Gem, by an up-and-coming son of Surprise, I'm hoping to milk
her until she is 12 or more, just like her famous grandmother (and
multi-great grandmother). Penny won her Junior leg and Best of Breed
Junior Doe at our the age of 6 months. I was especially pleased
when someone asked the judge to explain what was meant by flat,
open ribbing, and he walked over to Penumbra to demonstrate. At
our first linear appraisal session, the appraiser felt that Penny
was the most promising doe I presented. She received Excellent in
head and back, and the appraiser felt that she may be only a year
or so and a little capacity away from an E mammary. Penny's 2006
son by Stonewall's Turner
Ashby, Phoenix, is a herd sire in North Carolina.
