Being the first doe born into our herd, we never had high expectations for Bella but she really impressed us. Bella tends to be overlooked from even myself but she has really turned out to be one lovely doe. As she's aged she has really improved in every part of the scorecard, especially mammary system. She is a very correct doe who took a little bit more time to come into herself but even at five years old is showing structural correctness including a strong pasterns. While she is not a fan of the show ring and traveling she has been very competitive being the 2014 and 2015 Eastern States Exposition BOB and GCH earning her restricted leg. It's a joy to watch her watch around the barn when she's in her element and not worked up about the excitement of being at a show.

Where Bella really shines is as a brood doe. She consistently produces does excelling in general appearance and with much higher, wider rear udders than herself. She's been so consistent in doing so I have retained all but one of her daughters so far who have been doing extremely well in the show ring and have some impressive kids themselves. 

While we had planned on retiring Bella after finishing her 2018 lactation, she is quite convincing so we bred her for early 2019 which will be her final freshening. I do not expect to keep her in milk very long in 2019 due to our schedules, but am excited to have the opportunity to retain one more daughter. We are excited to see her many daughters and granddaughters in our herd develop. She have given us an incredibly correct and consistent herd.
