Production:
Three does should be noted for exceptional lifetime milk production in 2001:
Flora (30,530 lbs. milk) after 8 lactations, is bred back for earlier kidding in 2002. We lost
Remembrance from the herd for 2002, but she completed 28,740 lbs. milk in her 11 years.
Rosebud completed 23,000 lbs. milk, including 3470 lbs. milk at 7 years of age. These does demonstrated their transmitting ability through the ADGA Top Ten appearances (Vol. 47) of their daughters
Fern, Fuchsia, Rosette,
Rene (Van Zee Ranch) along with herdmates
Mary and Flora. Fern,
Susanna and Rosette
had records exceeding 4000 lbs. milk in 2001.

Mary, Susanna
and Fauna achieved ADGA permanent champion status in 2001, and
