We are incredibly proud to have this
beautiful doe own us! And....she does own us, believe me!
She insists on full body rubs each time she gets off the milking
stand (my fault!)! Evian appraised EX94 (EEEE) as a 5 year
old for the 2nd time, making that her permanent appraisal score.
To the best of our knowledge, she is the only doe that has been appraised that high two
times, and consecutively at that. And, the only LaMancha to have reached that score.
Her production records are real. Look
at the ring picture below of the full bucket (that's not one of
those itty bitty ones either!) beneath her as
Krista milks her at the 2009 ADGA National Show during the Best
Udder selection. As a yearling she milked over 2600 lbs.,
and her next 4 lactations have been from 3190 to 3970....She did
make #5 on the 2007 ADGA Top Ten Production list, and won the
Lifetime Production Award for LaManchas at the 2008 ADGA
National Show. In 2009 in addition to winning Best Udder,
she also was the LaMancha Total Performer at both the ADGA
National Show and at the California State Fair.
On the 2009 Top Ten Production list she was #6!
She's a trooper in the show ring as well -
winning her class at the ADGA Nationals in 2006 as a 2 year old
and was named Reserve National Champion. In 2008, she was
1st place 4 year old & was named ADGA National Champion &
Reserve Best Udder. At the Sonoma County Fair she was GCH
& Best Udder, and followed at the California State Fair that
year winning GCH, Best Udder & Supreme Champion overall in
incredible competition. In 2009, she was 1st place 5 & 6
year old and won ADGA National Champion & Best Udder. At
the Sonoma County Fair following that, she was GCH & Best Udder
in Show. At the 2009 California State Fair she won GCH
LaMancha, Supreme Udder & Supreme Champion up against
amazing competition. In 2010 she was only shown twice at
our local fairs - and was GCH & Best Udder & Best In Show as
well as Total Performer at the CA State Fair. At the
Sonoma County Fair she was GCH & Best Udder & Best In Show again
- both times against incredible competition including multiple
National Champions in the lineup!
A team player too, she
was a member of our 1st place Best 3 Females at Nationals in
both 2008 & 2009 and our 1st place Dairy Herd in 2009. Along
with her daughter
Aquafina was 1st place Dam & Daughter in both 2008 & 2009, and was also a member of the
first place Produce of Dam with her older sister Survivor in 2008.
Add on to that and see what her son Tach Lach (owned by Laurie Acton)
has done in the past couple of years - sired the 1st place 2
year old at the 2008 ADGA National Show, and in 2009 sired the
1st place Yearling Milker & Reserve National Champion Evianna,
in addition to numerous other animals placing in the top 5 of
their age classes. He also had 1st place Sr. Get & was
named 2009 ADGA National Show Premier Sire! Evian's
youngest daughter Avena finished her GCH as a yearling milker
joining her other progeny in achieving high honors.
Evian is an
extremely correct doe structurally, incredibly dairy, clean
boned & angular, with a beautiful mammary system that is
high and wide and long and smooth in the fore and milks down so
very well. Okay - so she has big teats
too.....we'd like to change that, but will live with 'em with
all the rest of the good stuff she has! She's got a great
temperament, very smart, easy to work with, but she's surely no
sissy! Yeah, she's one of those bossy girls (as are most
of the Sprite daughters). What several judges & appraisers
have said that what impresses them is the way that she
moves - her mobility & carriage are something that sets
her apart.
This
doe has consistently been a performer in all areas - production,
appraisal, and the show ring. Now her daughters & sons
are coming along and giving us a vision of the
future.
