ARMCH Antiquity Oaks Carmen *D 1*M VG AR1955
DOB: February 25, 2004
Carmen has a wonderful, soft udder, thick teats, and a wide rear leg set that she inherited from her sire, Antiquity Oaks John Adams. She has a beautiful udder still in 2011 at age 7 -- well attached all the way around, high rear, and smooth fore udder, although I would be happy if she had longer teats. She gave 2 pounds a day at her peak in 2005 as a first freshener yearling, 3.8 pounds in 2006 as a second freshener - or 3.6 pounds on official DHI test. Her high test day in 2011 as a 7 year old was 3.7 pounds. Although she doesn't have the high peaks of some goats, she is certainly consistent in her production, and in the midst of our 2011 heat wave, her production seemed unaffected through the 100 degree temperatures, while the other goats all saw drastic reductions in production.
In 2006, Carmen earned her first AGS leg under Julie Matthys as a two-year-old second freshener. That same year, under Don Bergfield, her daughter Lizzie Borden won GCH junior doe, earning her junior AGS leg. In 2007, her daughter Mm Butterfly earned her junior leg at 2 1/2 months under Valerie Ciesynski. As a third freshening three year old, Carmen completed her ARMCH with two more GCH wins.
In 2011, at age 7, Carmen was classified by Tim Flickinger as VG with a score of 89.9 - so close to an E! We're still proud of her though, as she is holding up beautifully with age.
We kept a buck out of Carmen a few years ago, Pinkerton *S VG, unfortunately we did not use him much when he was young, so it was very saddening when we lost him in 2011. He classified at 89.2, a high VG rating, under Tim Flickinger in May 2011.
