Kokomo is a large-bodied first freshening 2 year old in 2021 whose udder was the most pleasant surprise. With Koko we got our first look at what kind of udders our buck Kryptonite would throw and boy were we pleased. Koko has a wonderful side profile udder with 1/3 visible in front of and behind her rear leg. She has a really nice rear udder that is nice and high, good arch and she also has a nice smooth fore udder with no pocket. Koko herself is large and somewhat gangly as a 2 year old. Her claim to fame is her high milk production as a first freshener. She has already reached 15.9  pounds this summer, which is a Platte Valley herd record for any first freshener. She has already reach 3,013 pounds at 236 days.

Koko will be bred to Meadowlark River Tach for March kids. Our plan is to continue to milk her up to 305 days just to see how far she can go, 305 days being the industry standard for one year's full production. Current 305-day projection is for over 4500 pounds, which would be another herd best for us if we don't get tired of milking before she gets there!

Koko started out the show season placing 6th or 7th in the first 3 shows. Not quite last, but almost. And here we thought she was fabulous! At the last show of the year, Nebraska State Fair 2nd ring, she moved up one place at a time until she was in 3rd. Finally we saw progress! We are actually really pleased with Kokomo and look forward to her maturing and filling out.
