Bricksie
is really a huge surprise daughter of first
freshener Zelda. She is a brick! She is a March
kid but by late October is the largest doe in
the pen. She is a wide, correct kid and we are
going to go ahead and breed her to
Quincy for April kids
in 2023. She will be the first Hobe Kat daughter
to freshen. Given that Hobe's littermate sister
is Katamaran (take another look at KatM's
udder!), we are pretty excited about this young
doe.
Bricksie did not disappoint
with her first freshening. She has a wonderful
high and wide rear udder. Teat placement could
be better - they are wide, but we do expect them
to look better as she matures.
In 2023, Bricksie traded
1st place at every single show with Hallie. Of
the two does, Bricksie has slightly better
general appearance and Hallie has those lovely
teats pointing straight down. Teat placement is
only 4 points on the scorecard, that is how
closely these 2 does compete. We are really
looking forward to watching these 2 lovely does
mature.
Bricksie peaked at 11.2
pounds milk/day just before the August heatwave
(107 degrees!), and is still producing over 8
pounds in mid September.
Bricksie will be Lap-Ai'd
to Lucky*Star's HD Lugosi for February kids.
Backup will be to Juke Box Hero. |
