SG Black Mesa Flasher’s Poppy 9*M (Poppy) Born 2/17/05 CAE Status: Negative G6S Status: Normal Linear Appraisal Score: 90 EEEV at 2 years old 91 EEEV at 3 years old
DHIR Milk Test Results:
July 2008 update: Poppy just gets better and better. She is a beautiful, productive girl with a great attitude. What more could we want?? July 2007 update: What a ham! This girl has never been to a show in her life, yet when she was lead into the arena for her linear appraisal – she started strutting. Her head went up, her gate became more animated, she was in her element. We heard “Ooh’s” and “Ah’s” from the people that were here helping out. Yup, Poppy easily stole the “show” with her presence, style, and good looks. Two years ago we predicted that she’d be a beauty when she grew up and, boy, were we right. Poppy, now a 2 year old, scored an amazing EEEV 90. This girl is magnificent. Poppy gave us twin daughters this year and is milking almost a gallon and a half a day. July 2006 update: Poppy hit the ground running last year when she was born, and this year she hit the milk room at full speed also. She kidded with twins and went right to work cranking up the milk making machinery. Her udder is wonderfully formed and well attached. We’d like larger teats hanging a bit more plumb, but are delighted with the rest of the “package”. Poppy is a very feminine young lady with lots of dairy character. She’s long and elegant. More background on Poppy (2005) Poppy was our first born girl in 2005 and she really hit the ground running. She wouldn’t lay still to be cleaned off when she was born – she kept trying to walk away! Poppy always seems to have things to do. As a daughter of our Top Ten Breed Leader Jacob’s Pride Yo Flasher we expect one of the things she’ll do is make milk! She is a very elegant youngster, long legged and long bodied. She’ll be quite a beauty when she grows up.
