Sunshine is a medium sized, solid white doe that is quite a little powerhouse, but remains feminine in type. She has a capacious udder, with good medial, good teat placement, and a very smooth fore udder. Although not the highest rear udder, it's still one of the best overall mammary systems in our herd. It's a productive mammary system also. She produced over 1200 pounds of milk in 2006. SunShine has proven her value in the kidding pen as well, producing triplet does in 2004, quad does in 2005, and then quintuplet does in 2006.
SunShine has at least 3 permanent champion paternal half
sisters. We have retained 6 of her daughters in our own herd, of which
three
are already permanent champions (see Beau-Nita
, Sunni-Beau-No , and Sunday)
Beau-Nita and Sunday have both taken Best Udder in Show
wins. We will most
definitely be keeping more SunShine daughters.
