Zelda is
Ocarina's littermate sister. Everyone knows that
freshening and getting that udder socked on
correctly is key. What happens as a junior kid,
happens as a junior kid. All bets are off when
does freshen. Sister Ocarina was the Belle of
several Junior balls in 2021. Zelda will have
her chance to show up her sister when she
freshens. Zelda is a very smoothly blended doe.
We look forward to seeing that first udder.
Zelda showed her stuff in 2022 in the show ring,
going 1X 1st, 3X 3rd (to Katamaran). Zelda
appraised 86 VVVV as milking yearling, a
nicely balanced and correct young doe. Zeldo is
correct structurally, front and back. She excels
in front end with her front legs properly placed
directly under her withers ~ this is one area
where we see many goats in the breed with front
legs too far forward. Zelda is also extremely
smoothly blended, not a trait that is scored,
but one that we admire ~ you have to raise goats
that you like to look at and Zelda scores high
for us as eye candy when on the move. AT day 169
(about halfway through her lactation) she is
right at 1563# of milk, easily making the cut of
over 8#/day, peaking at 10.6#.
Zelda had one other
notable accomplishment in 2022, giving us a
daughter, Platte Valley MHK Bricksie (Zelda X
Hobe Kat, granddaughter of the great +*B SG
Rockin-CB KWY Hoku).
Zelda's 2022 Lap-AI did
not take and she did notbreed back so she
remained open in 2023.We will try live cover in
2023 to Meadowlark RCBJ Jaxson. |
