Adrastea’s ADGA Genetics Page

“Drassie” was one of those gangly teenage milking yearlings so we  decided to leave her dry for a year in hopes that a break would give her time to grow up and put it altogether.  And grow up she did!  She is now the tallest and longest of our Travis daughters, and gives Quaffle a run for her money in being the deepest.  She has smoothed out nicely and her strength of bone has developed quite well as has her capacious, well-attached mammary system.  She is yet another testament to our adamant that you really must let them grow up!

Showing only half the 2010 season, Adreasta easily picked up  2 GCH legs towards her championship as a 3 year old. And after less than a month after her July 2011 kidding, Adrastea stole the show at the 2011 Clark County Fair, handily winning Grand Champion and finishing her championship as a 4 year old.  She even won a hard-fought second to Fish in a beautiful Best of Breed class.  Adrastea is just one of those does, quiet and unassuming, but so very strong, dairy, capacious, and sound, she is hard to fault when you take the time to really look.  Unfortunately with a year off and two years of late kiddings, Drassie is currently stuck with her gangly yearling milker Linear Appraisal score–but we look forward to that changing too in 2012!
