| Guernseys on Wall Street |
Our Guernseys have primarily been acquired from two reputable
herds carrying the Marlindale and Waite Guernsey Farm prefixes.
In addition to our two Excellent cows below, another nearly
10 year old foundation dam, Marlindale Hot Shot Deary was also
made a permanent EX-90 during our last appraisal and her two daughters,
Daisy and Dakota were scored Very Good as well. We now have a
total of thee Excellent and 12 Very Good cows in our small but
growing Guernsey herd. In 2008, we were named top Guernsey herd
in New York State for production in the 10-29 cow category!

Sire: Trotacre Jay Mr Luxury

Zoey was named Grand Champion Guernsey at the 2008 and 2009 Chautauqua
County Fair.
Less than two weeks after freshening, Zoey's classification score
was raised to EX-93. She had a very large and impressive looking
bull calf sired by Tiller, Wall-Street Tiller Zoar. We plan
on growing and developing him.
Zoey's daughter Zane also recently freshened and she was classified
Very Good as a two-year old during our appraisal held on
March 8, again merely days after she freshened.

Wall Street Hawk Chelsea
Chelsea is the daughter of one of our most promising young cows,
Marlindale Legacy Cindy, who scored VG-85 as a two year old and
just finished her first lactation of over 20,000 pounds of milk
and over 800 pounds of butterfat. She is due in early 2010 to Archie.
Chelsea proved to be a competitive show calf for nephew Jacob in
2009 and we are anxious to see how this stylish calf and her dam
develop in 2010.

Marlindale Lorry
Salinda 2E-92
8-06 2 x 300 days 16,055 4.9 749 3.2 516
Sire: Trotacre Mercury Lorry-ET
Dam: Marlindale Goliath Sherath
2nd Dam: Marlindale Magic Sheri
Salinda is the foundation dam for the Wall Street Dairy Guernsey
herd, and nearly half the cows, heifers and calves we have on the
farm are her descendents. We flushed her for the first time at age
9 after being bred to Royalty and we got 15 # 1 embryos. She was
also scored for the first time at age 9 and went Excellent-92. Salinda
was made a permanent EX 92 during our March 2009 classification.
No one who meets her can believe that she is nearly 11 years old
due to her youthful appearance, especially as it relates to how
her udder and feet and legs have held up over the years.This photo
was taken when Salinda was nearly 9 years old. Salinda's daughter
Selena scored VG 87 and her two-year-old daughter, Sam, scored VG
as did her daughters Sadie and Sally during our most recent classification!
