 All photos of mammary systems were taken with 11-13 hours of milk (or less).  We do not allow our does' udders to go without milking for longer than this time.  It is terribly uncomfortable for them.  We highly prize a doe whose udder fills within 12 hours.  That is a true milker!  What we strive for!

By taking a look at Maggie's pedigree below, you can see why we are thrilled to welcome her to the herd!  (Even though we didn't plan on adding any more does for a while!)  Maggie comes from the well-known herd on the East Coast that consistently produces top-quality Nigerian Dwarf goats.  All of the animals in her pedigree have greatly influenced the breed.

Maggie is extremely refined, dairy, and correct with sharp withers and tight shoulders.  I remember her udder being very well-attached with good teat placement and size.  She is also super friendly and easy to milk!  We look forward to having Maggie and her paternal sister, Lilly with us the rest of their days.  Thank you Anne!

Maggie will likely be bred to Camanna ZH Red Robin Haze

Another wonderful addition to our herd!  Lilly is also a sweet, correct doe that we are thrilled to own!  Thank you Anne!

pedigree coming soon!

For some reason, my website program deleted the information on Sunset.  Agh!  I will be putting this back together as time allows. 

**Sunset and her daughter, Cordelia, are out on a milking lease for the winter to CM.  They will be moving to a new home in 2010 but we have reserved rights to a doe kid back from both girls.  Thanks Tisie!

Sassafras is a pretty gold & white doe with great general appearance, a level topline, and nice feet and legs.  She has plenty of body capacity, width, and a nice rear leg set.  I admire Sassy's uphill way of standing; she is very sharp in the withers and tight in the shoulders.  I do wish for Sassy to be more level in her rump from hips to pins -- I've been told by other dairy goat breeders that her rump is not so bad.  I would also like to see tighter elbows.

This girl has a gorgeous udder!  Her mammary is very capacious, well-attached with good-sized, perfectly placed teats, a smooth foreudder, decent medial, and buttery soft texture.  Her orifices are big; she milks quickly and easily (besides being naughty in the stand).  I would like to see her with a slightly more defined medial (for the amount of capacity she has) and a tad higher in the rear.  Her udder is awesome though!

Mammary photos taken at 27 days fresh with 12 hours of milk.  Another winter freshening and I did not want to clip her udder too much as it was very cold out. . .

 Sassy was probably bred to Royal Blue for fall 2009 kids
