 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!

Sugar Pine RHB Sunset Splash

This pretty doe came home with us early 2008 along with her daughter, Cordelia.  Sunset is long and level-bodied, she has nice feet and legs, beautiful, wide rear leg set and high, rounded escutcheon, great shoulders, and gorgeous blue eyes!  She is small, refined, feminine, and very dairy.  She does tend to toe out a little bit in the front and I would like to see more angulation to the rear legs, all areas were improved in her kids.  Sunset is very easy to milk with large orifices, a nicely-shaped, and well-attached udder.  I would like to for her medial to be more defined and this would bring her teats in closer.

Sunset's dam, Goodwood Cinnamon Splash was a beautiful doe.  She had two GCH legs and would have earned her permanent championship, but was not shown for several years; by the time she re-entered the ring, all the younger does were winning the grands.  Splash was a beautiful doe and lived a long, productive life (14 years!)  We're thrilled to have a daughter of hers.

Sunset is the best mother doe in our herd.  She will even feed her grand-babies!  A neat story involving Sunset, her daughter Cordelia, and her grand "kids" can be read on our blogSunset and her daughter, Cordelia are out on a winter milking lease to C.M. - they will return to our herd around May 2010.

**Sunset will be for sale in 2010, please contact me if you are interested in purchasing her.  She is a very special doe, so I will be very concerned about her new home, please tell me a bit about yourself, your set-up, and why you would like to have goats.

Maple Breeze Sassafras

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!

It was an easy decision to retain one of Sassy's 2008 doe kids, Winter Sage.  She is maturing so nicely and we cannot wait to see her udder!

An unclipped and mostly dry Sassy in the pasture, May 2009

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
