Venus is still immature at 2 years old, but coming along nicely. Her rear udder is amazing as is her teat placement and the fore udder is tight but is somewhat short. She still needs to deepen out as well.

Noteworthy was a kid that Judi picked out at ten minutes old, took pictures and e-mailed them to various friends to predict just how "Noteworthy" this kid was. She has lived up to all our expectations and then some. She was the District 7 Lamancha Specialty GCH and also had 1 BIS win as a 2 year old. She also has several BOB wins. She will be bred to *B Little Orchard BR Pure Thrill (BUCKS), with a look toward improved production. See Xhibit and Xemplary-last years Thrill kids from Note. First doe kid may be retained.

Now on test and will be appraised again as soon as we are done. We brought this doe back into our herd last fall.
This doe has a
very lovely, wide and high rear udder and smooth blending (although short) fore udder. Her
teats are bit big, but great for hand milking. She is one of the dairiest
feeling does in the herd with an amazing wide flat rump! In addition she
stands on great feet and legs. This slow growing doe is now a good sized 4
year old and we are delighted to have her back! She has been 1st place 5
times this year and is part of our Best in Show dairy herd! We only expect
to her to get better. She was par of our first place Produce of Dam at the
National show.
She will be bred to Altrece AP Very Berry (BUCKS) Repeating the breeding that produce Xcellin Kid's Page- the 1st place junior kid at the 2007 National Show.

This young doe is very striking and we were pleased when Merri McDonald gave her to us as a kid. When we decide to bring Su-ellen home we were even more pleased to have Willma. She has freshened with a lovely mammary and her dam's 2 faults-- teat size and shape and short fore udder are corrected. Su-ellen and Willma were the first place dam and daughter at our Lamancha specialty.
Thank You-Merri McDonald for this wonderful doe! To find out more about the Merrihill Farms herd you can e-mail Merri at merihill@olypen.com

Vivian is a lovely 2 year old first freshener who gives us great hope
for the
future of Thrill as a herd sire. She has several firsts and seconds
and a fourth this year as well as one full leg towards her GCH. One for
her firsts was at the 2007 national show out of 55 entries! Her fore
udder extension is excellent, the height and width of rear udder is also very good. She is
a tall (34" as a 2 yr. old) and very long doe.
She does have a
plain (but strong) head and her teats could be more plum, but all in all she is pretty darn
exciting.
She milks well, shows well and we hope when we are able to appraise again,
she will do that well also.
We are currently planning to breed her to Altrece AP Very Berry
BUCKS repeating the breeding of Xaviera.
