Extended pedigree


Jonnie is another Tabby daughter (like Luna and Phoebe) and so shares that long body and refined dairy character.  Jonnie is slightly close at the hocks, which is noticeable only because her udder is so capacious, but her front end looks nice and square.  Compared to Luna, Jonnie is more delicate, lean, and refined, but her ribs are still flat, wide, and well-sprung.  A definite Tabby daughter.

Her udder has excellent attachments – as good as “Mina the Milk Truck” – and the medial ligament is to die for.  Her bloodlines include top milk producers - ARMCH Rosasharn Uni 3*D "E" had the top ND score for 305 day milk testing in 2002-2004 and Slinky and Damselfly are also top ND producers.  If her next freshening expands into those attachments like we hope, she will rival the Milk Truck. 

There is one thing that we would like to see improve.  Her teats are on the small side, so that hand milking is difficult.  She is our only doe who gets the E-Z Milker, but she does a good job at filling it up fast.

Jonnie is also a very sweet doe – as one of the two year olds, she is in the bottom half of the herd’s dominance.  But what a gentle soul she is.
