Tamira

Tamira's dam is One Oak Hill Payne Talpa. Payne Talpa is a very stylish doe who is
very well balanced and strong in general appearance. She is also a very dairy doe
with a long, lean neck and openness in ribbing. Her mammary is high and wide in the
rear, with a smoothly blended fore udder & a very nice udder shape. In 2000, Payne
Talpa was the 2nd Place 4 year old at the ADGA National Show. As a yearling milker in
2007, Tamira was beginning to show us a nice udder to go along with her long, lean
neck (like her dam) & overall nice general appearance. However, Tamira's 2007 had
an unfortunate twist when she fell victim to a spider bite on one of her teats.
Thankfully, our veterinarian treated the bite very aggressively & was able to save the
teat & we believe Tamira will only have some minor scar tissue as a result, but only
2008 will tell us for sure. 2007 was not a total loss for Tamira, as she did produce a
beautiful daughter, "Miss Expectation" who was the 5th place Jr. Kid at ADGA
Nationals held in Gillette, Wyoming. Tamira also produced a very nice buck, Cruz
Control, who we have retained and will use on a few young does during this years
breeding season. Though unable to show Tamira in 2007 due to her spider bite, she
was shown as a kid in 2006 and was the Best Jr. Doe in Show in one ring and Grand
Champion in the other. Tamira's sire is Becca's Prince Albert , a son of Dagron
Taipei's Toronto.

2008 Update: Tamira did not kid until June 1, but had two nice looking kids--Miss Behavin & J.B.
Buckardi. We thought Miss Behavin was so cute that we featured her in our web page heading
shown above top left. Also, Miss Behavin was the Reserve Grand Champion at the
Texas-Oklahoma Fair & the District VI LaMancha Specialty held Sept. 2008 in Wichita Falls, TX
