✨ What to Expect from This Pairing
This breeding promises kids with beautiful breed character, productive udders, and solid structure—ideal for the show ring, the milk stand, or as foundation animals in a quality breeding herd.
- Verbena is a daughter of Clover, who is already a multi-ring Grand & Reserve Champion and has earned Best Udder honors—testament to her outstanding mammary system and general appearance. She’s blue-eyed and polled. Verbena continues to impress with her level topline, width, and gentle disposition.
- Tundra brings in elite genetics from Blackberry’s herd, adding powerful structure, breed character, and consistent milk production lines. His influence is expected to further enhance udder attachments and overall dairy strength in his progeny. Tundra is now a Live Show Finished Champion.
Expect kids with strong toplines, elegant Nubian ears, excellent width, and beautifully attached, productive udders. They should shine in both the show ring and the milking parlor.
