2007 Show Success

"Daisy Lou" Francis Bros. 620-QR
"Daisy Lou" kept coming on all year long. IL State Fair judge commented that she was easily the best headed ewe in the class. Others commented and were impressed with her front end design, feet, legs, and bone. Bottomline, she has a tremendous pedigree and strong show record. Look for her offspring to make a positive impact for the Dorset breed.
