Longvu LaManchas Milking Does
We
maintain
a small dairy herd of 6 to 8 milkers
throughout most of the year. Spring is a peak season with new
milkers freshening out and many kids to feed, so we may carry 12 or
more milkers up to early summer. The does outlined below
represents current the milking
herd and show string. We feed a good second cut grass or alfalfa
mix through most of the year, supplimented by a 16% protein sweet feed,
free choice minerals, and baking soda.

This little ditty has developed into a full fledged aria. At 11 years old, "Liddy" is still going strong on
great feet and legs. She has a level top line and rump and shows
a lot of strength and dairyness. While her mammary system is starting to
show signs of 11 lactations with 7 of them well above 2000 lbs, she is
still competetive in the show ring. Her daughters always carry
the same great general appearance traits and productivity. Her
appraisal at age 7 certainly reflects the longevity of excellence in
this line.

You can easily see the inner peace in this doe. "Vipa" demonstrates the best qualities of her dam and brings in the
improvements we hoped to see from her sire. She is longer in bone
with straighter front legs than her dam, and demonstrates the same
sharpness, angularity, and width from Harmony. She then freshened
with a beautifully stapled on udder, featuring plumb teats, an
excellent medial,
and exceptional fore and rear attachments. Vipa finished the show
season with two straight Best-in-Show ribbons at two of the largest
shows we had attended last year. This year, Vipa was the 12th place 4 year old at the 2010 ADGA Nationals.
Unfortunately, Vipa aborted and didn't come into milk this year, so she
will be sidelined for the 2011 National Show and the 2011 show
season.

She is as catchy as the pop song. Hearts
was a sharp, angular kid and has matured into a clean upstanding
yearling milker. She has a wonderfully attached mammary system
with a smooth fore, strong medial, and well placed teats. Hearts
stands on strong feet and legs and with her second freshening, she has
deepened out into a powerful milker. She finished her
permanent championship as a two-year old second freshener and has given
us some very lovely kids. We were pleased with her 18th placing
in a very competitive three year old class at the 2011 Nationals in
Springfield, MA

There is more than just a comic strip parody of greatness here. Kiwi
has a beautiful mammary system with a smooth fore, well placed teats,
and incredible texture. She has a wonderful wide flat rump.
Kiwi is sharp and clean throughout. She finished as a
two-year old second freshener at the first show of the season, having
collected two legs as a yearling milker. Kiwi continues to
demonstrate high productivity, peaking at 14.2 lbs/day this year.
Kiwi placed 20th in the three year old class at the 2011 Nationals in
Springfield, MA.

She is indeed as sweet as Pocohontas' voice.
Colors is long bodied and tall with a wonderful flat rump. She is
dairy and lean with a wonderfully attached mammary system: smooth in
the fore, high in the rear, strong in the medial. Colors shows
all the signs of following in her dam's footsteps. She is
continuing to mature nicely as a three-year old, combining excellent
productivity with that very well attached and correct mammary
system. Nicely enough, in fact, to earn her a BDIS win at Ossipee
Valley Fair this year. Colors placed 17th at the 2011 Nationals.

Like the spreadsheet software, this doe adds it all together into
a wonderful package. Lotus has a long, wide flat rump with a wide
high rear
attachment. She is
long bodied with sharp withers and a long lean neck. She is very
correct on her rear legs and has a great front end. She is deep
in the heart with a nice width in the front. Her mammary system
is well attached, with an excellent area of attachment, with excellent
productivity.
Lotus placed 14th as a yearling milker at the 2010 ADGA Nationals in
Louisville, KY and 11th as a two year old at the 2011 ADGA Nationals in Springfield, MA.

Translating Carlos Santana's famous song title into computer code
is only one
of her many talents. BMW is long in body and shows a lot of the
same features that
made her dam, Liddy, a winner. BMW stands on very good feet and
legs and
shows a high, strong rear attachment with a wide arch. She blends
very
smoothly from the withers into the neck and have a good balance of
strength and dairiness. As a dry yearling, BMW was the 1st place
Junior Yearling at the 2010 ADGA National Show in Louisville, KY and
placed 17th in the two-year old class at the 2011 ADGA Nationals.

You don't need to down too many Margaritas to see the
beauty in this doe. Margie is a real sweetheart. She is
long and angular with
sharp withers, long lean neck, and a flat, wide rump. She stands
on great feet and legs with good natural width in the rear stance
showing off a high, wide rear udder attachment. Combined with a very
smooth fore udder and obvious capacity, she easily earns highest praise
for her mammary system. Margie also has a really pretty
face to go along with the rest of her. In her first show out this
year, Margie was BDIS at the NHDGA Spring Show in New Boston, NH,
making it two years in a row with that distinction.
Margie placed 14th at the 2011 ADGA National Show.

Like the major computer manufacturer, there is a lot of reliability and
value in this doe. Dell is very long bodied and smoothly blended,
standing on
excellent
feet and legs. She has wonderful depth of body and heart, with a
great balance of strength and dairyness. Dell has a long, wide,
flat rump combined with a high and wide rear udder attachment, strong
medial and correct teat placement. We are seeing her mature
nicely in her first lactation and will be looking for great things from
her in the upcoming years. Dell was the 9th placed yearling milker at the 2011 ADGA National Show.
