Irene was the source of quite the argument with my appraiser this year ;-)  He felt that she wasn't working as hard as the other yearlings, I quite firmly felt that a yearling doe that was milking a projected lactation of #3530!!!!  was doing just plenty, thank you very much!  That she can milk that amount and still keep her body condition up is a big plus in my book.

Because she was milking so much, and we had so many other yearling to get out to our one local show, Irene took the year off from the show ring.  Since she is one of the 3 girls that made the cut until next year, she will be out there as a 2 year old!  Irene inherited her dam's lovely mammary system  with a bit more style coming from granddam Aroura.   Her udder is high, tight, and smooth in the fore -- I am still looking for the udder shot I have on one of the camera cards!

Irene has been bred to Amy's Pride Southern Gentleman, and is due in March 2010.
