Sky has a high escutcheon, a nice front end assembly, is very full in the crops, has length from hips to pins, and good depth of barel.  Even though she was dam-raised, she could easily be mistaken for a bottle baby, as she still tries to jump up in my lap- which at her current size is a bit uncomfortable.  We are very pleased with her udder- so far, she has accumulated eleven best udder awards over some very tough competition!  She has lots of attachment all around, a high rear udder and a smooth foreudder with a strong MSL and nice large plumb teats, and milks down to almost nothing.  She has perfect milk stand manners and if, by some strange happenstance, another doe gets to be milked first, Sky will loudly let you know that this is NOT okay, and should not happen again in the near future (if ever).

With both of Infinity's parents being finished champions, we hoped that she would do as well in the show ring as they did.  We've finally gotten official confirmation that she has followed in her parents' footsteps, and is now a finished champion herself.  Her background is full of milkers, and she was able to earn her AR milking star as a first freshener.  She has a lovely udder, with great capacity  and nice all around attachments.  She stands incredibly wide in the back with nice angulation and has good brisket extension.  We'd like to see a little more flatness of bone in those shoulders, and a higher ear set, but other than that, she's a very nice little doe.

Honey has lots of dairy character and is such a show ring queen- set her up and she won't move; put her in the back of our truck and she runs right into her crate, eager to get to the show.  I suppose it could have something to do with her knowing just how good she looks.  Honey is well put together- she's got wonderful feet and legs, and is long, sharp and has a great front end assembly. Her udder has very nice shape and texture, with exceptional side attachments, and very easy to milk orifices.  She had to go grand champion a few extra times in order to finish because her ears somehow kept reabsorbing her tattoos, but she finally got there, becoming a fourth generation finished champion on her maternal side.

Raven's udder is all I was hoping for and more.  These udder pictures were taken less than two weeks into her second freshening.  She has a very wide and high rear udder, a smothly blended fore, plumb teats, and excellent texture.  In addition, she walks on very strong feet and legs, has great spring of rib, smooth blending, lots of femininity, and she levels out on the move. This little doe isn't terribly people friendly, but she's getting better all the time, and her kids have all been very friendly. She has gotten so much better that we're convinced she would be a total lap goat had she been handled as a kid.

Ali is the doe I always pull out for show and tell when someone asks what does a very dairy doe look and feel like.  Her udder is high, very well attached, with the strongest MSL in our herd and near ideal teat placement. She is quite capacious, and easy to milk with those nicely sized plumb teats.  She has lots of dairy character, with that long lean neck, flat bone, soft pliable skin, proper sweep to her ribs, and angularity.  On one day milk test as a first freshener, she produced 4.1lbs of milk to easily earn her milking star, and to earn a spot in the Top Ten one day test for high milk. As a third freshener, she produced quintuplets, which seemed to take a lot out of her, getting her off to a slow start in the milk bucket.

Several years ago I had been in line to get a doe kid out of Zenith, but there weren't enough doe kids to go around. When Tamara offered me a chance to pick up this Zenith daughter (a repeat of the breeding I had wanted a doe kid out of), even though I needed another doe like I needed a hole in my head, I couldn't turn down the opportunity. Rain freshened with a very nicely shaped udder- high and wide, with a broad area of attachment, strong MSL, and super easy to milk teats.  At her first show as a first freshener, she was beat out for Best of Breed by her six year old dam who is still going VERY strong. Rain had very strong DHIA milk records, but since she didn't finish her lactation until January of 2011, she won't show up in any of the 305 day top ten lists until the 2011 results come out in 2012.

You know how they say that the camera loved Marilyn Monroe? As much as it loved her, it despises Blizzard- I cannot get a decent shot of this doe- certainly not one that shows off the 38 she scored in rear udder height. Take my word for it though, this is a doe who just keeps getting better with age. She is long and level with nice blending, a great front end assembly and very good angularity. Her udder is well attached and has nice soft texture and plumb teats, although I would like to see them a bit larger. She has matured into being one of our larger does with tremendous body capacity and width, though she retains her dairy character at the same time. She earned her milking star at a one day milk test at the AGS National Show where she produced over 4.2lbs- outstanding for a first freshening yearling, and good enough to earn her a spot on the Top 10 high milk for one day test in 2008!

Tesla (named after the electric sports car, not the band) has been a favorite from the beginning. She is a long, elegant doe, with smoothness of blending, straight front legs, a wide rump and lots of dairy character. Her udder is high and wide with a tremendous area of udder attachment and excellent texture that milks down very well. She has this quiet sense of dignity about her. She would never think to bleat loudly (for that would be undignified) rather, she will quietly slip into your lap or gently nibble at your shirt until you notice she is there.

Lots of dairy character, spring of rib, angularity, with a very strong front end assembly, straight front legs, and good depth of heel. Every time she has been in the show ring, she has gotten complimented on her outstanding general appearance, upstandingness at the withers, and smoothness of blending. She has large milkable teats, wonderful capactiy and udder texture.

Tuscan still had her buns in the oven when we had our 2010 linear appraisal, so she was not able to participate that session.

Penny Wise seems to have really come into her own as a milker. She's the oldest kid I've ever attempted to get on a bottle and has always been a little wild as a result. Now that she is being milked twice a day, she's completely friendly and will jump over other does in the milker stall in order to personally greet me at milking time! She cracks me up! She is a very, very dairy doe with sharpness, angularity, flat bone, wonderful spring of rib, super pliable dairy skin, and look at that stretchy elegant neck. She has a very capacious udder with a strong MSL, large well defined teats with open orifices, and good teat placement. On linear appraisals, she has earned strong scores in strength, dairyness, rump angle, rump width, rear udder height, and medial suspensory ligament. Her second freshening has produced an incredibly capacious udder, and that combined with her uphill profile and dairy character led to three easy grand champion wins in a row- our second doe this year to win all three champion legs at one show. She is very well mannered on the milking stand, and I am very happy with how she is doing on milk test this year.

Bailey is from our very first set of sextuplets born on the farm, and like her dam has that eager to get up on the milk stand personality. I am not sure why she looks quite so startled in this picture since she's certainly used to us, but maybe she thought the camera was going to eat her since she's never seen it before now. I am pleased to see that her sire seems to have improved her length of body, front end assembly, height of rear udder, smoothness of foreudder attachment, and has tightened up her toes somewhat. Judges have noted how naturally uphill she is, especially while on the move.

River, littermate sister of our buck, Harvest Moon, reminds me so much of her dam in both look and personality. She does show more angularity at this age than her dam did, but other wise, is very similar in build, being small, well put together, and having more dairy character than you would expect just from looking at her. She freshened with an udder that is living up to my hopes- high and wide in the rear, a very nice medial, plumb teats, lots of attachment, good capacity, and a smooth foreudder. River is also a bit of a ham, which I find endlessly endearing.
