Tressa is our last precious daughter of our Thyme.  She has lots of general appearance, and is built very solidly.  Her chest floor is very wide and it is carried back through to her hocks.  She has a high, wide rear udder and a smooth, well extended foreudder.  Her teats are of nice size and shape and are correctly placed.  We feel Tressa and her sister, Trista, have the best mammary systems that we have ever produced.  Tressa seemed to be a show stopper from the moment she was born.  At the 2004 National Show in Harrisburg, she was Reserve National Champion Recorded Grade Jr. Doe and went on to freshen the next spring with the type of udder that you can only hope for. 

She has continued on with her show success and has produced three lovely daughters in our herd with superb mammary systems.  All of her milking daughters have finished their championships this summer and we look forward to freshening her dry daughters.  She deserves a gold metal for showing and producing daughters as good as, or better than herself!

News flash:  Tressa finally won Best Uddered Recorded Grade at the 2011 National Show!!!  This is certainly a well-deserved award, and a long time coming.  Tressa's mammary system is truly something to behold, and hasn't shown any signs of age whatsoever - not bad for a doe going on 9 yrs. old!  She's also still being named Best Doe In Show!

Vizzion was a new addition to Tyler's Recorded Grade herd in 2006.  She is a smooth-bodied doe that has a beautiful udder.  She possesses some of the qualities we wanted to entwine in our herd.  Vizzion was 2nd place in the Yearling Milker class at the Nationals in 2006, and her dam, Sizzle, was the 2006 Reserve Grand Champion to our doe, Solaris.  Together, Vizzion and Sizzle won the Dam and Daughter class.  We thank Cindy for allowing us to purchase such a fine doe.

Vizzion, once again, topped her age division at the 2010 Nationals and was named Reserve National Champion.  This is in addition to  an outstanding year in 2008, topping the 3 yr. old class at the Nationals, and was also part of our 1st Place Dairy Herd. 

Vizzion has maintained herself well and looks great as a 6 yr. old.  She topped her age bracket once again at the Nationals and along with her partner and number one fan, Tyler (my son), placed 2nd in Senior Showmanship.  Vizzion has proved herself by producing some outstanding daughters in other herds.  We are repeating the breeding to Turk.  We feel this breeding produced a doe that took the best from both - our beloved Velencia was lost, so we hope for another in 2013.

Lucy is a tall, powerful, large framed doe that stands on an exceptional set of feet and legs.  She has a level topline and a wide, flat rump.  Her mammary system is well attached with the longest foreudder in the herd.  She is very mature doe and most of the judges comment about her impressive size.  We feel she is true to her maternal side with all her size and strength of feet and legs.  Lucy won the 2009 Michigan All Breed 2 Year Old Futurity.  We feel this was quite an accomplishment with all the competition. 

Lucy has not been shown since 2009 due to an udder injury.  She has been an excellent brood doe producing some excellent daughters.  Her 3 yr. old daughter is on her way to becoming a permanent champion in addition to milking 2 gallons/day!  Her daughter from 2010, Saxs, was my personal favorite kid and has turned into a beautiful milker!

Surri is typical of our Solaris daughters.  She has a lot of size and width throughout and her mammary system is the best yet.  Her rear udder is picture perfect and she has excellent teat placement.  Surri has lovely dairy character and strong bone structure with improved angulation over her near-perfect dam.  Surri is one of the best does to have freshened in our barn and due to poor judgment of our previous barn help, Surri and Lucy will never be the same (udder damage).  We love Surri so much that we feel she will be a valuable member of our herd as a brood doe (Surri milks more from 1/2 and udder than most does milk from an entire udder!)

This year, Surri has increased milk production from the damaged half of her mammary system.  We have high hopes that next year she will improve even more so that she can be shown ad achieve the permanent champion status she so deserves.

Kimora and her sister were the largest set of twins ever born on our farm.  Kimora is a powerful doe with a long, tall frame and stands on a strong set of feet and legs.   She has freshened into a large, mature doe.  She is a favorite of my son, Tyler, and has the beautiful red chamoisee color like most of the Apache daughters.  Added to that, she was our highest appraising yearling - VVEE-89.  Overall, she reminds us of our beloved Lucy doe and that's a wonderful thing.

Saxs was a pick of the 2010 kid crop from the beginning.  She is sleek and flashy with a good sized, long frame.  Her feet and legs are excellent and she has a well balanced, smoothly blended body.  Saxs was first place Intermediate Recorded Grade Kid at the 2010 National Show, with stiff competition.  She freshened with a pretty udder and grew into a big, beautiful doe.  This doe has always been one of my favorites and I feel her show career has only started!
