This beautiful young doe was a keeper the minute she hit the ground! She is quite striking with her black coat and blue eyes! After watching her dam mature into one of the nicest does in our herd we were very excited when she gave us twin does. We called them black bear and brown bear for the first week because they were such hefty kids! She has a beautifully shaped head with a wide muzzle that promises productivity as a milker. We are very excited to watch this girl mature 🙂 She is everything we want to see from our breeding program, this doe is long and has incredible width of body for her age! She is a little tank! We love that she is overall very correct in stature and has the dairy strength that we want to see in all of our milkers. Her dam has one of the best udders in our herd and is only one leg away from earning her CH title.
Velvet freshened with a lovely first freshening udder. She has the best udder texture in our herd with easy to milk teats and nice shape and definition overall. I am expecting her to gain more capacity with future freshenings.
Update: Boy did she gain capacity with this second freshening! As you can see her udder has really filled out and gained the rear udder height that she was lacking before. Her texture is lovely and she is very easy to milk. So happy with this doe!
