Manuka is my sole retainee (but not survivor) of Tupelo's '09 sextuplets.  I was originally going to sell him, but due to the economy, I could not find a buyer.  I can't express how pleased I am that he had to stay here!  So far, I've seen eight kids by him, and seven of them were uniformly gorgeous.  They are consistently long bodied, level over the topline, tight in the shoulders with correct ribbing, wide rumps, and awesome rear end assemblies.  With the udder genetics backing this guy up, I am SO excited to see what his daughters look like when they freshen in 2012.  Oh, and Manuka himself is a pretty nice looking guy - sharp shoulders, good length of body (his color creates the optical illusion that his body is shorter than it really is), great ribbing, a nice rear leg set, nice brisket extension, and a long rump.  He also is a more well balanced buck, rather than a "doe with a beard", like I usually prefer.

Show Record: 1 x 3rd out of 8

This is a spectacular buck that we feel so fortunate to have contributing to our little herd.   Not only does this guy boast wonderful general appearance, extremely correct feet and legs, a long and level topline, and great width and capacity through out, he also lays claim to a respectable show record, including a Best In Show against some top quality standard bucks.  But even more impressive is his kids, he's consistently passing on his level topline, dairy character and feet and legs to his offspring.  Jupiter is consistently putting well attached udders on his daughters with lovely MSL, butter soft texture, extended fore udders, and large teats.  He now has three finished champion kids to his credit, and one is a daughter with an LA score of EEEE 91 and four BDIS, and one daughter with a DHIR milk star.

Show Record: ADGA: 2x Best in Show (Against the big boys!) 5x Sr. Grand Champion, 5x Best of Breed, 3x Reserve Grand, 8x 1 place, 3x 2 place.

Updates: Jupiter's kids are certainly rising to meet our expectations, placing near or the top of their class consistently.  His '06 doe out of Tupelo  (Splash O' Honey) snatched up her Jr. leg, along with a Jr. Reserve at her first show, and has been placing at the head of her class as a milker.  As a third freshener, Splash is now finished!  Her littermate sister, Honey Dew, easily completed her ADGA and AGS championship as a second freshener, picked up four BDIS along the way AND earned herself a Linear Appraisal score of EEEE 91!  His '07 Tupelo (Amrita) daughter placed 1x 1st and 3x 2nd as a Jr., and scored VVVV FS87 as a first freshener.  Jupiter also has a finished champion son (CH Smokin' Hot Honey) out of Tupelo.  And a first freshening Jupiter daughter earned her ADGA DHIR milk star in 2009.
