DOB: 3/27/10

Height: 22" (5.5 months old)

Moonbeam has beautiful conformation and good breed character. His dam has a wonderful udder with nice long teats. She is milking VERY well for a first freshener. I know it's unusual to keep bucklings from a first freshener, but these boys (Moonbeam and Sunny) were way too nice to pass up and their dam has a spectacular udder, so they're staying. MoonBeam also has a very nice personality and loves people. MoonBeam's first kids were born in 2011 and are VERY nice. We are retaining 2 of his daughters (Luna and Shadow). His dam continues to be an excellent milker and staying very small (24").

Moonbeam's tested daughter came back G6S Normal and his grandsire was also tested Normal.

His TERRIBLE Fall vshow pictures. I didn't have a helper, so he didn't do that well in the show. Still took 4th out of 7 in one class. But took 7th in the other class... Oh well, at least the above pictures show that he is nicer than these pictures show. :-)
