Virtue was the most amazing buck, not only was he correct throughout, with wonderful breed character....but he was a true gentleman. He was a joy to be around, gentle with his ladies, and ever so stylish. He was only around for 2 short years, but his daughters are beautiful reminders of his time here. As luck would have it, there was a limited collection done prior to his death, so he will continue to live on and share his genetics with the world
His Daughters in my herd: Wishful, Faith, and Secret
His Grandson in my herd: Revelation

Faith is the product of a tight linebreeding....both Virtue and Socker are out of Socrates. But I believed the strength of the doe lines behind them would pull together and the result would be great.....and it is! She is exactly what I expect of my Virtue daughters.....she is tall and long, elegant and correct. Her mammary is well attached as well. She doesn't set any production records, but with the kids she gives us...She has more than earned her spot in the herd!
We retired Faith in fall 2007. We figured she'd earned it!

Secret was well worth waiting for. She is a lovely doe, tall and long bodied, strong on her feet and legs, strong across the topline, and an 'ooh-la-la' mammary. Secret was a bit uneven with her 2004 kidding, so we treated aggressively, but left her home for the show season - plus a single kid didn't inspire her to milk much weight off.
Secrect has kidded the last 4 years completely even, and has been competetive in the showring despite being "over conditioned". As a 3 year old she went grand and reserve at the one she we attended, she got another reserve leg as a 5 year old...who knows what her future holds! She is bred to Andy and due in April.
