Ariel has quickly become one of our favorite does! She was a slower-growing doe that did not get bred as a yearling. As chonky one-year-old in milk, she has shed some of that extra weight and is now such a lovely doe to watch and so graceful on the move. Ariel is long, deep, and wide, with open, flat ribbing, a beautifully correct front end and brisket, and straight front legs set squarely under her withers. She is very dairy in appearance and blends smoothly from her long neck into her shoulders, carrying a nice, smooth topline.

Ariel appraised with a VEEE89 as a late one-year-old. She also boasts a well-attached udder with a strong medial ligament, large teats with excellent orifices, a long, smooth fore udder, and a soft, pliable, capacious udder texture.  As a FF she earned her milk star in less than 250 days with a milk test high of 4.7 lbs and a ranking in the 81st percentile. She finished with 850 lbs of milk,  50 lbs of Fat and 36 lbs of protein in just 250 days and could easily have continued had we not dried her off.  I have retained her gorgeous daughter and sent another to a performance herd, so I am looking forward to seeing their numbers next year!  As much as we wanted to retain her daughter this year we donated her to the AGPA Performance Auction and Sweepstakes to benefit our youth.  She is a stunner so keep an eye out for her at the shows, her name is Baby Angel BH Pixie Dust!
