This buck brings with him very strong showing and production lines. His dam, Goodwood Sisley, has consistently produced outstanding animals over the years, including the 2008 AGS National Champion Senior doe, the 2009 National Best Udder, and the 2010 Reserve National Champion. Her daughters have shown impressive longevity in udder attachments, and Tradition will hopefully continue to pass on her wonderful genetics.
His genetic potential for exceptional mammaries is apparent in both his parents backgrounds. Check out his paternal granddams udders. ARMCH Fairlea Fleur, Tradition's paternal granddam, is a 3rd generation ARMCH doe. Jean Luc daughters have all had well-attached, strong MSL, and plumb teats to their mammaries .
Tradition is an open-ribbed, level, dairy buck with good width throughout .Tradition has done very well in the show ring- as he win results illustrate. Fall of 2011 we had the first 7 Trad kids born and they are every bit as stylish and dairy as their sire.
18 months old.
