Bella Donna was a large doe (she stood 33″ at the shoulder) and was possibly Top Gear’s best daughter, peaking at 14 lb. her second lactation. She was much improved over her dam Crystal with a better-shaped udder, higher rear attachment and better hind leg angulation. While her first two DHIRs may not seem impressive, she was dried off early because she was due to kid! She earned several Merit Production Awards from the International Nubian Breeders Association (INBA)
Bella sadly left us far too early, due to a case of mastitis that could not be successfully resolved. We are thankful to have several of her offspring remaining in our herd–they have big hoofprints to follow! She was very special and one of our most valued does. Miss you so much, Sweetheart!
