OUR FEMALE FAMILIES
We have tried to put together many of the femle families that have done well as possible. In the past we haven’t been religious with naming all our girls after their dam introducing a few new names as did those before us on occasion but we have decided not to do this in the future. Our main female family lines are detailed below however have only included one animal as an example.
