Checker's beginning is a funny story. We had to take her dam with us to a two day show because she was very close to kidding and we didn't have an experienced farm sitter. It was a miserably hot weekend and she should have kidded, but apparently didn't like an audience. On the drive home we stopped at a Cracker Barrel to have dinner and "Oh My Gosh" momma was in labor! Checkers and her two siblings were born right there in the back of our trailer in the restaurant parking lot! Since we love to play checkers while waiting on a table...the name was obvious. Checker's first show as a junior was at the same show she was born leaving the year before ;-) Checkers is a small statured and correct doe. I call her my Mini Holstein. She has a lovely flat back, long rump and sharp withers. Her feet and legs, as is typical with Flame offspring, are very correct. She freshened with just the udder we were hoping for! Despite having a singleton, she shows good capacity. Her teat placement and MSL are good, rear udder is full. Her fore udder is long and smoothly blended. |
