Crown Hill Funny Face
Yes.... we really did name her Funny Face! Nothing funny looking about it but when she was little, and cute and cuddly it really fit her since she is solid mahogany red except for the white splash on her face and chin! We called her Funny Face for so long we just ended up registering her that way... We had shortened it to "Face" since she was so huge!! Didn't want to make her mad!Face was another Alliance first freshener that we loved! She had a very well attached mammary and milked well... A very tall, long, elegant doe... she was our gamble for the year and it sure paid off! If you look at her pedigree, you will see that she is a VERY tight linebreeding... Her dam was already a half brother / sister breeding and then we bred her dam to the dam's sire's full genetic brother! We figured if we were going to pick up faults, this would do it! Well.... she is actually an improvement over her dam and her dam is a very nice doe! Of course, there are a lot of CH animals in the immediate pedigree we were doubling up on...
Face was in the group that was poisoned from the mistletoe that came down in a big windstorm... she didn't die immediately as some of the others did but hung on for over a year but there was just too much damage to her organs... she went from 200 lbs to 80 lbs before she died and was bright and perky right up to the last day when she went to sleep and didn't wake up... Her last year of life we didn't breed her and just let her hang out, come into the milkroom to be brushed (she loved her brushing!) and just generally spoiled her...
