Caprice was pretty amazing as a first freshener. She was initially recognized on the Elite list for 2020 in the 98th percentile but quickly moved to 99th and she has remained there ever since!! Her udder is lovely. Teats are well placed, are long and express easily. Udder is capacious and soft--the kind of udder you only dream about, milking down to nothing. Escutcheon is wide and roomy. Overall, a nice top-line, rump and general appearance. For her first milk test, she gave 4.2 lbs!! Nice job Caprice. She has continued to impress during her first lactation on DHIR. Her production dropped during the winter and then increased. Her last test day, at 354 DIM, was 4 lbs! ETA21: 142, ETA12: 111. I’m anticipating she will easily earn her Superior Genetics award once she has her linear appraisal score (still waiting--come on ADGA!!). See below for impressive 2nd fresh numbers!!
During her second freshening, she brought home 2 legs toward her championship, LA VEEE 90, and check out her 2022 lactation: 305 DIM, 1640 milk, 98 BF, 65 Protein. She did eventually, in 2024, earn Top Ten for her 2022 lactation, placing 3rd for volume and 10th for protein.
Her third lactation was cut short due to her impatient breeder's wish to breed her for February kids in 2024. For her 4th lactation, she is on track to be competitive for Top 10 again, 305 DIM, 1623 milk, 108 BF, 69 Protein!!
