Jigsaw, our oldest daughter of our beloved Jacki, has been a “sleeper” but is developing into the beautiful “total package” doe we’d hoped she would.  She is uphill, sharp & angular with a correct, “typey” head, a lovely & very productive mammary (boasting one of the highest rear udder scores in the herd to date w/ an impressive 46!), terrific pasterns/feet & tops it all off with the sweet temperament that runs on both sides of her family.  She hasn’t seen much of the show-ring, having been “blessed” with a genetic double-whammy in the slow-maturity department, but appraised quite respectably as a first freshening 2 y.o..  Under a notoriously tough appraiser, she scored within or above the ideal ranges in many of the categories, excelling in the areas of Dairyness/37; Rump Angle/28; Rear Legs/30; Rear Udder Height/46; Medial Suspensory Ligament/25; Udder Depth/40; Rear Udder Side View/32; Vs in Head, Rear Legs, Back & Udder Texture & E Feet!

Littermate sister, Jenga traveled to the balmy subtropics to act as part of the foundation of an aspiring show LaMancha herd.  She too freshened with a “typically-terrific” Dash mammary but unfortunately, was lost suddenly & unexpectedly.  She left behind a son, sired by Lost Nation Jrufio Rose Royce (year older full brother to our Renoir) whose owner says he is “a real stunner” & is looking forward to seeing what he can do. . . as do we!

2005, Jigsaw kidded with twins sired by Revel (dazzling "calico" daughter, Jillian stood in the upper part of her age class as a Junior Kid until she was whisked away by good friend, Karen Kimberly/Country Charm . . who will <a-hem> hopefully provide us w/ pictures one of these days ;)~), presenting us with what's turning out to be a typically-terrific Dash mammary!   She’s an excellent milker & has the nice, long & level lactation we value in our breeding program, going strong until we need to dry her off for kidding.

2006 Update: Jigsaw  kidded with very snazzy triplets, sired by Renoir &, aside from her clear intent at putting as much as she can into the bucket, she’s maturing beautifully! – We just love her pretty mammary with her perfect-for-hand-milking teats/orifices, wonderful texture, how she “milks down to nothing” &, of course, her will to milk!

2007 Update: Jigsaw kidded with truly stunning 2 Buck/1 Doe triplets x Surge!
