Longvu LaManchas Milking Does
We maintain
a small dairy herd of 6 to 8 milkers
throughout most of the year. Spring is a peak season with new
milkers freshening out and many kids to feed, so we will carry 12 or
more milkers up to early summer. Our normal schedule has us
milking first fresheners through most of the winter, giving them a long
first lactation. The does outlined below represents the milking
herd and show string.

"Liddy" is still going strong on
great feet and legs. She has a level top line and rump and shows
a lot of strength and dairyness. While her udder is starting to
show signs of 8 lactations with 7 of them well above 2000 lbs, she is
still competetive in the show ring. Her daughters always carry
the same great general appearance traits and productivity. Her
appraisal at age 7 certainly reflects the longevity of excellence in
this line.

"Sera" has put it all together. She represents our two
strongest doe lines and the impact of *B Lucky*Star's QM Paragon in the
herd. Sera is deep and strong with excellent angulation and
sharpness. Her mammary system is very well attached with a high
rear udder and long, smooth fore. Six times Best Doe in Show
and many
times in contention for that title, she represents most of what we look
to breed for in our herd in terms of style and type. She does not
have a high peak lactation, but she has persistance.
Her first freshening, she went on to milk for 595 days, averaging
over 6 lbs/day for the entire lactation.

Harmony was a looker from her first steps. Very wide, high and
open in the rear stance, with a nice length of body and very good feet
and legs, she caught everyone's eye as a kid, even going Best In Show
as a senior kid. She then put on a very well attached mammary
system with great area of attachment and nicely blended in the fore and
rear udder.

Spray has matured nicely into a
solid doe with very good feet and rear
leg set, nice length of body and an excellent mammary system. She
is high and wide in the rear udder with a very strong attachment.
Spray's fore is smoothly blended into a deep body. She
has routinely been reserve behind Harmony and others, but has managed
to collect two championship legs.

"Upsie" is strong on her feet and legs with good length of body and
excellent width throughout. She freshened last year with a
very high, tight udder featuring a smooth fore, great area of
attachment and properly placed teats. She has filled out nicely
with her second freshenig and is sporting a very capacious and well
attached mammary system. Upsie stood in the
championship line-up at 8 of the 9 shows we attended this past year and
took home one GCH ribbon as well as 4 Reserve ribbons. This year
she started off the season with two GCH wins at the first two shows out.

"Vipa" demonstrates the best qualities of her dam and brings in the
improvements we hoped to see from her sire. She is longer in bone
with straighter front legs than her dam, and demonstrates the same
sharpness, angularity, and width from Harmony. She then freshened
with a beautifully stapled on udder, featuring plumb teats, an
excellent medial,
and exceptional fore and rear attachments. Vipa took home 2
reserve ribbons before earning two straight GCH placings at the fall
fairs to finish. She is also very memorable, at convention in Colorado
this fall, I had several judges ask about how she did during the
remainder of the show season.

"Sili" was brought back into the
herd with her dam, Cokie. She has beautiful straight front legs
and is very angular with good width throughout. Her mammary
system is well attached, and her strength of topline and rump carry her
well in the show ring. She has milked very well as a first
freshener and has filled out beautifully as a second freshening two year old.

Nymph is just a beautifully
structured doe, standing tall and wide with excellent feet and legs.
She has a her
naturally wide stance shows off her wide rear arch and she has the
udder to fill it well. Her mammary system is excellent, with a
strong rear attachment, smooth fore and a very globular shape.
Nymph's
strong back and long lean neck round out another great looking Omie
kid.
