Rafter O Four Leaf Clover

Breed: Mini Nubian 2nd Gen

Date of Birth: 03-24-2019

Percentage: 76.16% Nubian / 23.84% Nigerian

Two-tone Chamoisee, Blue Eyes

G6S Normal by Parentage

Clover is a beautiful two-tone chamoisee doeling with blue eyes. She is very feminine and has a great topline and overall conformation. Clover’s pedigree is outstanding on both sides. Her dam, Clair, comes from top Nubian herds. Indy, her sire, is a purebred Mini Nubian with lineage back to quality, foundation Mini Nubian herds. We are excited to see her mature.

Clover is maturing nicely and freshened in Spring 2021 with buck/doe twins. Her FF udder has very high attachments, good teat size, and placement. We retained her doeling, Verbena.

2020 TMGR Conformation Clinic Comments (Evaluator: Rebecca Nix)

“This is a very correct doe in all aspects. She is very balanced, feminine, and shows nice dairy strength. She has a long lean neck, I think she may be pulling down a bit on the collar giving the illusion of not blending as well into wither. Her shoulder assembly is very correct when viewed from the side. The foreleg placed appropriately under the wither, with adequate extension of chest and brisket. She has nice depth at the heart girth. Very long body with a strong and straight back. The rump could be a bit longer from hip to pin, but she shows correct shape to the rump. From the front, the only thing I’d like to see is the shoulder a bit wider at the top and the lower foreleg, from the knee down just a bit straighter. This doe has one of the best escutcheons in the group showing lots of width at the top, free of excess tissue, and the thighs curve outward. She is very correct in the rear legs when viewed from the rear being perpendicular from pin, hock, and fetlock. She does turn out slightly on the lower left foot. She has very correct hoof shape and pastern length. She has exceptional rear leg angulation from the side and if her rump were a bit longer from hip to pin, the hock would be able to be placed more appropriately under the pin. When looking over the top she shows very correct body shape, with full fore ribs and a nice spring to her barrel. From this view again it is clear to see the rump is just a little short from hip to pin. Really solid doe and when selecting a buck I think the focus should be on rumps.”
