DOB: 7/12/2014 937 lbs in 264 days in milk on 2F LA 2018 VVEE 90 ADGAgenetics Information
Mimolette has the width and depth indicative of a power milker. She is also a well-balanced doe. As a dry yearling, Mimolette appraised with V+V and V overall. She was not appraised as a first freshener, but produced an udder with a strong MSL and a smooth fore udder. Even though she only had a single kid, Mimolette peaked at 3.4 lbs. during her first lactation and earned her milk star.
I chose Mimolette after watching her dam (SG Redstone SF Dark Star) put 1 quart of milk into the pail twice a day as a yearling first freshener. Dark Star has continued to impress, milking 1050 lbs. in 305 days during her first lactation and 1350 lbs. on her second lactation, hopefully qualifying her for ADGA's top ten milk production list. Dark Star appraised VVVV 87 and is currently ranked in the 98th percentile on ADGAgenetics.
Mimolette has a strong personality when it's dinner time, but completely dotes on her kid.
On her second lacation, Mimolette milked 3.5 lbs on test day at 18 days fresh. At 4 weeks fresh, she is doing over 4 lbs. She had 3 test days at or over 4 lbs.
Linear appraisal 2017 went well. Mimolette's score was +EEE 88. She has a nice wide rump, wide rear udder arch and udder height with a beautifully smooth fore-udder. I also learned her shoulders are too forward. She has a lot of strength and dairyness and a beautiful head. The appraiser said she was a gorgeous doe.
I dried her off early so that she would kid in March 2018, but Mimolette is showing a strong will to milk, not only peaking at over 4 lbs, but continuing to milk well. She was in milk for 264 days and milked 937 on her 2nd lactation! She is bred to Cori's flashy buckling, who will hopefully improve shoulders and smooth her rump while keeping the high milk production.
Mimolette is doing fantastically this year. She milked 4.6, 5.6, 4.5, and 4.9 lbs milk thus far. She is on track for a great lactation. Both daughters were retained this year as we realized how much we like her genetics.
2018 update: Mimolette took 3 Grand Champions and 1 Reserve Grand Champion at the Utah State Fair competing against 49 other does! She is now a finished champion.
