Christabelle is one of the longest does I have ever seen. She is long, level, smoothly blended, with great depth of barrel, brisket extension, spring of rib, and she excells in general appearance. She is very level from hips to pins, even though her rump looks a bit steep in this picture- she was just out of the ring and didn't want to stand still any more, so  we took what we could get. Her third freshening udder is a dramatic improvement over her second and has very good capacity, a strong medial, a very high and wide rear udder, with increased fullness in the foreudder. While her teats could ideally be larger, she has very open orifices, making her quite easy to milk. Her extremely friendly personality has made her a farm favorite, and she passes on that sweet personality to her kids.  Christabelle was not fresh at the time of our linear appraisal session, so we do not have a score for her.

I tend to introduce this little doe as "Sara-no-I-didn't-name-her", as it does seem a little odd to have a goat with my name- though at least her name is spelled differently from mine. She's a refined little doe, who had to go grand champion a few extra times due to paper work errors. She has wonderful spring of rib, good depth of barel, tight sharp shoulders, thin pliable dairy skin, with style and elegance to spare. She does toe out slightly, and we would like to see a little more length of body.  Her third freshening udder is well attached and even more capacious than her previous freshenings, with good teat placement, though I would like to see a slightly stronger MSL.  She is proving to have a very consistent line of offspring, with her daughters and granddaughters doing well in the showring, and her daughters are proving themselves in the milk bucket by being some of my top milkers.  At an ADGA Nigerian Specialty show, her daughters Sky and Flury won "Best Produce of Dam", and were part of my winning "Dairy Herd" entry as well.

Bambi comes from a line of does that has produced four generations of MCH does (the first three earning their ARMCH) in a row. Overall, she is an incredibly dairy doe with flat bone, thin pliable skin, levelness over the rump, an open escutcheon, straight hocks, elegance, and great depth of barrel, though I would like to see tighter toes and greater length of body. Her udder is soft and pliable, and if all of my does had her oriffices, I'd be done with my milking in no time! I would like to see more side attachment and a stronger MSL, though when viewed from the side (this isn't the best picture of her), she does show that 1/3-1/3-1/3 udder view we look for in a dairy goat.

Cali is a combination of some wonderful bloodlines, and with her flat bone, pliable skin, and spring of rib, she is  showing some of the same great dairy character her mother has, with more length of body. She stands uphill with straight legs, levelness from thurl to thurl, angularity, and very nice width for her size.  She is usually right behind her sister in the showring lineup, as they are very similar, and they are usually near or at the top.  While Cali's udder is not as high in the rear as her sister, she does have the same strong MSL and very milkable teats.

Sky looks very much like her sister, with a little more power. She has a high escutcheon, a nice front end assembly,is very full in the crops, 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.  Like her dam, she has perfect milk stand manners and always races to be one of the first does milked.

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. 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.  She'd be almost finished if it weren't for the fact that her ears somehow keep reabsorbing her tattoos, making several of her wins unofficial.

Annabelle is another sweet doe from our wonderful Christabelle. She has a long, lean neck, a level topline, nice depth and strength of body, and walks with tremendous width between the hocks.  She is very long and deep, with one of the widest rumps in the herd, and looks like a much larger doe than she actually is.  She fills that escutcheon with a high wide udder and with her second freshening, her teat placement seems to have significantly improved over her first freshening.

(ARMCH Goodwood Kauri Tree ++*S x Goodwood Purple People Eater VG)

Sunsprite's dam is an example of long gevity in the Nigerian breed, having finished her MCH as a six year old. With the addition of Nigerians to the ADGA herd books, Sunshine came out of retirement and completed her championship as a nine year old, and to top that off, as a 10 year old, 12th freshening doe became the AGS National Champion Doe!  Sunsprite has lived up to my expectations, freshening with a well attached, soft udder with very milkable teats, and one of the stronger MSLs in our herd.  She is proportionally a very long doe, with a an exceptionally tight front end assembly and super sharp withers, good feet and legs, and she practically prances while on the move.

Raven's second freshening 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 wonderful 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.  I am looking forward to getting her into the show ring this year.

Mouzza is one of the few Pencil doe kids born into our herd, so we're happy to have her.  Her second freshening udder has really nice shape, very good teat size, a strong medial, and very good capacity.  When she runs to the milking room (and most days she's more than happy to try to get to that milking stand several times a morning), her plentiful side attachments are quite visible.  She is very smoothly blended, has very nice length of body, is very level from thurl to thurl, and has a nice long, wide (6 inch!) rump. I'm so used to seeing her with her beard that it took me a few days to adjust to her "new" clean-shaven look.

I waited through several sets of triplet bucks to get Moon, and even then she was the only doe from a set of quads. I definitely think she was worth the wait! Moon is one of our smallest milkers, but that doesn't stop her from doing her best to keep up with Sky in the milk bucket.  On a one day test at the AGS National Show, she produced 4.1 lbs of milk- an incredible amount of milk for a doe that can't be much over 40 lbs. herself!  She stands on a great set of feet with exceptionally strong pasturns, has good capacity both in body and udder, and carries a high wide udder that does not move when she walks. She has very tight elbows, with exceptionally flat bone and sweep to her ribs, along with outstanding dairy skin. She is one of my favorites on the farm, being not only a great milker but also having an outstanding personality.
