Sire: One In A Mil Tahr
Dam: Goldthwaite Signet Duchess
Update: Tigir left us at the grand old age of 12 years old, and my only regret is that she didn't give us just one more girl to set beside her daughter Ephesus in the herd.
The senior doe of our herd, 'Tiger' is a huge doe with plenty of substance and staying power. Her udder is exceptionally well built, with rear and fore-udder attachments that could make anyone jealous. She is basically a ten pounder, and always milks extremely late in her lactation we sometimes have difficulty drying her off before she kids.
She has been a prolific doe as well, freshening out her first time with triplets, then with quads. Her third time she decided she'd impressed everyone enough and backed down to twins for a while. Later she tossed in a triplet or so, just to keep her hand in. ;-)
{ With a terrific turnout for the 2008 State Fair, we were pleased to have Tigiris, Ave and Argentina take third place in the Nebraska Dairy Herd class, even though Tigir was milking through from the previous year! }
At State Fair '10, Tiger, Ave & Cadiz placed third in Breeder's Trio.
