Second Freshening Udder
|
Melody is very long and feminine, at three-years-old she is just starting to grow into that amazing length of body. She has a strong front end assembly with correct straight front legs and a nice brisket extension. Melody has a very level topline that runs smoothly into her flat rump. But as lovely as Melody is, it is her udder that really shines. She scored an EEEE 91 as a three-year-old. The highlight of this appraisal was a 37 in Fore Udder Attachment, a score of 40 for Rear Udder Height and a 38 for Rear Udder Arch. What an incredible udder on a three-year-old. I should also mention that she earned an Excellent in Shoulders, Front and Rear Legs and in Back! This doe is only going to continue to get better and better with age!
May 2018, at just 3 and a half weeks fresh Melody swept the first three rings at the first show of the season to become a finished Grand Champion. She looked stunning and is everything we are striving for! Not only is she beautiful to look at, she has excellent milk stand manners and milks down to absolutely nothing. We will be keeping many future daughters of Melody's and feel confident she is going to have a huge impact on the future of our herd! |
