I added Phantom to my tank specifically for the exceptional general appearance and refined dairy character seen in his dam and sire’s dams. While we continue to focus on heavy-hitting production in our herd, we are using Phantom to refine the frame that carries it by adding the structural strength and beautiful dairy character that Hidden Palms and Old Mountain Farm lines are famous for.
Phantom’s pedigree serves as a blueprint for the modern show doe, anchored by his dam, GCH Rosasharn RS B My Opera Star 5*M EEEE92, who earned a prestigious permanent Linear Appraisal score of EEEE 92. Opera Star has scored Excellent in just about every linear appraisal category including the most important to me: General Appearance, Mammary, Rump, Shoulders, Front and Rear Legs. Opera Star has done extremely well in the showring finishing her permanent championship at 5 years old including two Best In Show wins. She also demonstrates ideal longevity scoring EEEE 92 at eight years old with an ageless udder height of 39. She has also proven her ability to reproduce herself in her daughter, GCH Hidden Palms JD Die Walkure 6*M EEEE92, who mirrored her mother’s success with her own EEEE 92 score.
On the paternal side, Phantom is a son of Old Mountain Farm Shrove Tuesday *B, coming directly from the foundational lines that have been a fixture at the ADGA National Show for years. This family is well-known for passing on long, level toplines and wide, flat rumps that give an animal real presence. Beyond just looking the part, this lineage is celebrated for producing high-quality udders with the kind of wide rear attachments and smooth fore-udders that stand up to years of milking.
His sire’s dam is Old Mountain Farm Fat Tuesday 3*M EEEE 91, a stunning doe who serves as a model for structural correctness. With a Linear Appraisal score of EEEE 91, she earned Excellent ratings in every critical category: General Appearance, Mammary, Rump, Back, and both Front and Rear Legs.
