Peggy is a beautiful, stylish, balanced, lovely uddered
doe with a phenomenal pedigree that we are so thankful to have
added to our herd this year! I had admired her in the Tempo
sales list for a few years and when Laurie told me that she
would probably be cutting down on some of her LaManchas in 2006
I quickly spoke up for Peggy. As a bonus we got to add her
tall, dairy maternal sister Tenley to the herd as well! Peggy
spend 9 days on a trailer getting here via a hauler and when she
came off we feared she was all done in the show ring, at the
very least for that year. It took her about a week to get with
our routine, but she did and the longer she was here the more
beautiful she got and the more she milked and the more
competitive she was in the shows. She gathered a couple of 2nds
right off, but looked great at Nationals and placed 14th
and teamed with Tenley to be 5th place Produce of
Dam. At State Fair she was 2nd in the first ring with
1st udder and Reserve Best udder of Breed to Beauty
and was Reserve GCH and Reserve BU in Ring 2 to Belle! Perhaps
the best was winning the 4yr old class at the prestigious NAILE
with 1st udder where she placed over several other
higher placing does at Nationals that just had not held up like
she had, and a member of our 1st place Dairy herd!
In 2007 Peggy had a rough pregnancy and became toxic towards the
end, we induced and saved her and the triplets. It took Peg a
while to get back in shape and skipped the National show, but
was back in form at State Fair where she was 1st Aged doe/1st
udder and Reserve GCH, and Reserve BU to Beauty. I was told by
more than one person what a goof up I made by leaving her home
from Gillette!
