LA 2022: VEVV 88
We retained Noir out of Brandy in 2018 and there is not a single moment that I regret the decision, which lead us to retain another doe from Brandy in 2022 as she is aging. Noir is deep, has a phenomenal brisket, improved rump from her dam and holds excellent placement in her teats. Noir's second freshening udder has been a huge improvement from her first, which is something that I love to see. I was also able to have her LA'd this year and was pleasantly surprised when she scored the highest in the herd as a second freshener, VEVV 88. I am going to be super greedy and likely keep another doe from her this year, but we will see! I just adore her, and to boot, her mannerisms have improved on the milk stand and as now my biggest love bug.
* Noir kidded out this April to my surprise with ease and was very generous! She gave me a buck and 2 does, all blue eyed. Her buck went off to be a herdsire with a good friend, I retained Siren and then ultimately have retained Mystical until I can place her into a performance home. Noir's doe from last year did exceptionally well in her age group at the CTDGA Nutmeg Classic this May placing 3/17 in both rings and I am anticipating her kids this year doing the same. We will be breeding her this fall to our new buck, HLFM GR Seattle Sunrise. **
