Amity freshened with one large singlet buckling in 2025 and the moment he stood up we knew Hamlet was a keeper. This breeding was done by our friend Janet at Black Mare Farm who has done some of the most skillful and beautiful French Alpine pairings in our region.
Amity's mammary has aged amazingly. Her longevity is unbelievable and she as beautiful and functional a dairy girl as she was in her youth. At nine, her udder is pinned high with a beautiful, buttery texture and strongly defined medial. Combined with his granddam Maple Wind Fantine (who brings capacity and width to Amity's clearance and lift) we expect him to be a great "udder buck," and his family history suggests he'll be a sure thing for foreudders. Structurally he brings the wonderful Roeburn's length and rumps that we love.
(Amity tried really hard to conceal her labor from us that year as I stared at the barn cam and exclaimed "something is rotten in Denmark;" the name Hamlet stuck immediately and he was retroactively dubbed Infinite Jest.)
"Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy."
