April’s Linear Appraisal scores reflect an Ec in shoulder assembly, the very trait we brought her sire, Acclaim, in to improve…and, as an unexpected bonus…you should see her udder! High and wide in the rear, SMOOTH in the front..and boy, can she milk!   April resembles her dam, and is a long, smoothly blended doe, strong in Dairy Character.  April easily finished her championship in 2010 as a first freshening 2-year old, and also went on that same year to get her milking star.

April’s appraisal scores do her no justice!  A little rolly-polly as a yearling, April was a little ‘over conditioned’ for appraisal (which is why we hate to keep dry yearlings!) As a first freshening 2-year old, our appraiser felt that our appraisal session was too early in April’s lactation for her to score an E in mammary, but thought she has LOTS of promise and  a wonderful future ahead of her.

We couldn’t be more pleased with April….she is everything we have been striving to achieve in our breedings.  April’s 2010 (single, 12.5 pound) son, Tamperproof, now resides in Canada.  We have repeated that breeding, and look forward to retaining an April daughter in the herd this spring.  April was bred to Rebel for late March kids.
