Adelita is a lovely doe out of one of my favorite does, Misty. Her ears are much improved over her dam's - Star did a great job. Adelita has lovely conformation with a long, lean neck, long legs and long body. She has a very nice topline with sharp withers and a long, level rump. And she certainly got her dam's wonderful personality - She is sooo sweet and loves everyone. Her udder is very nice - tons of capacity, excellent shape, and long, easy-to-milk teats. The main thing I will work on improving is her attachents and foreudder - she has a bit of a pocket. Her production is very good at about 6 lbs! It will be interesting to see what the butterfat content of her milk is as her dam produces very rich milk (often over 7% BF).

Adelita's dam, Misty

As a newborn:

Before and after her first clipping. She is a red roan, but her undercoat is quite silver! (the third picture was taken several weeks later - you can see the red coming back):
