This upstanding doe has a really nice front end, is very smoothly blended, shows good angularity, and good length of body. I like the balance of her head, the openness of escutcheon, and she's showing us width of body it took several years for her dam to develop. She freshened with a nice balanced udder- good teat placement, MSL, and capacity in spite of kidding much earlier than expected due to a sneaky junior buck. She was one of our first does to kid in the year, and due to work load, she was dried off before we were able to get her to any shows. Definitely looking forward to her next freshening in 2020.

We had planned on going a different direction with this doe's name, but her relentless talking as a junior earned her this one, and I kept telling her that she'd need to have quite an impressive udder if she wanted to stay. Looks like she came through- and made up for by learning the milking routine in record fast time! For a first freshener, she's got incredible capacity, and her rear udder is tucked right up into a wonderful escutcheon arch, and her udder is attached everywhere. This is our first Beam Me Up daughter to freshen, and I'm pleased with the results. This doe could benefit from a good clipping- she sports so much hair, but I'm not spending hours in triple digit temperatures to clip a doe when there's no show weekend to go to- but even with her "working clothes" on, one can see that she has good blending, straight front legs, a level back, depth of body, and dairy strength.

2025 update: this doe was my favorite first freshener in 2020, and it crushed me to lose her to the fire. She convinced me that Beam Me Up was worth using more, but I will always regret her loss.

Newmie is not a kid we had planned on creating (her sire is a bit of a sneaker!), but we're pleased she's here anyway. As a first freshening yearling, she's come into the milk room with excellent capacity, a high, wide udder arch, plumb teats, and a strong MSL. She's an elegant, long bodied doe who reminds me in personality so much of Once Ina Blue Moon, her great (in more than one sense of the word) granddam- lots of personality in a small, well balanced package that happens to have moonspots and blue eyes.
