We really cannot say enough about Petey!! He is without a doubt living up to his pedigree, and without a doubt throwing his own extremely correct body type. We used him heavily this past year, based upon pedigree and his general appearance, and we could not be more pleased with his offspring!! As soon as we saw his first kids, we were excited, and while we haven't seen mammaries or know yet how they will produce, it's difficult not to believe that we have a real winner in Petey!! Five of the seven doe kids retained this season are Petey daughters. He is throwing the consistency of type we so admire; his daughters are uniformly tall, very long-bodied, extremely level does with correct leg set. They are sharp, "typey" does who show smoothness of blending and outstanding dairy character.
We had admired Petey's dam, Whimsay, ever since she was a kid, placing 4X Best in Show, then going on to become the 2006 Junior National Champion. We had attempted to reserve a kid from her in 2007, but none was available. In the spring of 2008, we decided to sell our Liason son, Limerick, only because he was getting older and had been used so extensively in the herd. When we learned that a Whimsey X Liason son was available, we jumped on the opportunity to add him to the herd!! In 2008, Whimsay both finished her Championship, and placed 4th 2 year old at the National! She has been Best In Show at least once in 2009. We see "Petey" as a buck who we hope will carry on the Liason line which has worked so well in our herd, while bringing in more of the outstanding qualities so obvious in the Saga offspring.
Based on the quality of his first kids, we plan to breed Petey to a significant percentage of our mature does again this season. He is, like his dam, very tall and long bodied, with a strikingly level topline and rump. He is wide throughout, stands straight in the fore legs, and has excellent rear leg angulation. He is sharp over the withers, and smoothly blended in his shoulder assembly. Over and over again, when considering the season's breedings last fall, we found ourselves choosing Petey as the buck most likely to produce structural improvement, and we continue to see him in this way.
Petey already has sons in the Munchin' Hill herd in W VA, and in herds in Iowa and Vermont.
We
feel very fortunate to have been able to add young Petey to the herd,
and again thank the Jodlowski family for allowing us to purchase him.
