Napoleon's Sire and Dam
Photos of Napoleon's sire and dam, provided by his breeder.
Napoleon's sire is Mrald Absolutely Perfect
He was 36″ tall at 18 months of age and has stayed on the shorter side. He has a gregarious personality and passes this trait to all his calves. He has high milk production on his dam’s side and very high butterfat on his sire’s side. Absolute is undefeated in the show ring and it's easy to see why!
Napoleon's dam is MRALD Eclair
Eclair's front udder attachment is "udderly" spectacular! It's one of the farthest forward we've ever seen!
