Summer 2012:

Opal has grown very long and elegant.  She is an ultra dairy doe and is doing great as a first freshening yearling. 

Summer 2011:

Opal comes to us due to the dispersal of the Ash Creek herd.  Originally we were planning on just finding her a new home, but she charmed us with her good looks and interactive attitude.  She is a sleek, eye catching young lady and we are happy to have her here.
