Huckleberry is without a doubt one of the best does we have bred.   She is a favorite in our herd having such a sweet disposition.  Always the lady, Huckleberry welcomes every visitor to our farm while shamelessly begging for attention.  She is a very long, extremely tall and powerful doe who excels in dairy character. Her mammary is high and wide with a far extending fore. She also has lots of nice side attachments.  She has been Best of Breed and Best In Show many times.  She will be 11 years of age this Spring and remarkably managing the position of herdqueen as she walks on excellent feet and legs.

In 2002 we took Huckleberry to the Nationals and she was injured just before we reached our destination.  We had stopped in New Mexico about 5 hours from Pueblo, CO and she was fine.  We milked her and put her and the others back into the trailer.  Just hours away from the fair grounds, we hit a huge bump in a construction area.  When we arrived four hours later, Huckleberry's right knee had swelled as large as an orange.  She was the only animal injured.   We treated her from Saturday through Wednesday without much success.  Judge Sam Whiteside put her third place with second udder, but said on video, "My heart is set on this 3rd place animal, she is the one I wanted to place first, but with her injured knee it is as high as I can place her today."   Later, in a private conversation, he told me he would have certainly considered her for National Champion.  The next year at the '03 Nationals, Huckleberry placed 5th in her class as a 5 year old, even with a slight case of mastitis. 

 We have in our herd two sons, Legend 92EEE and Pruittville's Explorer 89VEE.  Her daughter, CH Pruittville's Huckberry Frost 91VEEE was the 4th place, 2 year old at the '06 Nationals and in 08 Nationals was the 4th place 4 year old with 2nd udder.  A daughter who is showing great promise is Razzberry 88VEEE (yearling score) sired by Kastdemur's Next Expedition.  Razzberry was 10th place Junior Yearling at the 08 Nationals and has won her dry leg.   Another son, Pruittville’s Tom Sawyer sired some beautiful offspring at the Risslers of Price O The Field Nubians as their herd sire.

Nantucket was an elegant, classy doe who excels in dairy character, strength of topline and stands on strong feet and legs.  She was sharp in the withers, deep in the barrel, and has fine skin, and a long lean neck.  She has a wide level rump and correct angulation in the rear legs.  It was for these qualities that she was 3^rd place Senior yearling at the National show in Des Moines and again 3rd place four year old (3rd udder) at the National show in '06.  Also in 2008, Nantucket was 2nd place 5&6 year old after kidding with quad bucks!   Nantucket has a very nice mammary with teats correctly placed on the udder floor and was twice Best Udder in Show in '07.   Nantucket is affectionate, easy going and friendly and just loves to receive special attention. 

At the 2006 and the 2008 Nationals, CH Pruittville's Nantucket 92EEEE and her maternal sister CH Pruittville's Honeysuckle 91EEVE made up the 3rd place produce of dam class for their dam GCH Pruittville's Posie 1*M Ex90!  Their baby sister, Posie's Promise was the National Show's 1st place Nubian Junior Yearling.

Nantucket’s 2006 daughter, Lantana sired by Pruittville's Legend was Grand and Best Junior Doe In Show under Judge Annette Maze who exclaimed, “This doe is a breeder’s dream and a competitor’s nightmare.”  As Annette made her Best Junior Doe In Show, she asked the audience to look at the highest, widest escutcheon she had ever seen on a kid.  Lantana is now a first freshener and has a fantastic mammary.  We are repeating this breeding that produced Lantana for 2009.  

 Nantucket is the dam of Pruittville's Dakota one of our junior herdsires.
