A character to rival that of the Meg/Calliope line, and an absolutely stunning udder. JoJo is a nearly perfect little gem (how appropriate.) I am particularly happy about the balance of her udder viewed from the side--along with that gorgeous high wide rear udder, it has that lovely foreudder extension that is so often lacking in Nigerians. In 2009, on her second freshening, our linear appraiser commented that her udder was very close to an E this time, and would probably get there with one more freshening. JoJo got dried off early in 2009, inadvertently (don't ask) which was a disappointment because she seemed set to earn her star on butterfat, though she might have fallen a bit short on milk that first time on test. She did earn it easily this year. Meanwhile finished her ADGA championship in 2011, having beaten out her somewhat more celebrated herdmates Tiger's L'ily, Chiaroscuro, and Electra. She may be little, but she is mighty.
