"Silver" is one of my favorite does, she has a wonderful personality and we really enjoy her antics. She has her dry leg, which was
earned as a Jr. kid.
Her 2009 buck kid won Jr. Reserve CH at the Big Buck show in TX, and her 2010 homebred doe kid is turning out to be a very nice,
large & correct doe. We're hoping to improve on Silver's rather meaty udder with a very well-bred buck from a well-known, high quality
herd in the Fall of 2011, but we're still looking at a couple to be sure we make the right choice this time. We're after the thinner
skinned, silkier udders that milk down to practically nothing, along with a little more refinement in the head, traits which are produced by
some other lines we really like. She is a good milker, giving almost a gallon per day, but we stopped milking her after we tried our
Nubians' milk, which is consistently the best tasting milk we've ever had.

Xachet is a wonderful little doe with the absolute best personality, she is a really special girl. She is pictured above
as a yearling first freshener, she has the most wonderful udder that is nearly perfect and it milks down like a glove,
something we've really come to appreciate in our past couple of years milking and showing dairy goats.
She kidded in March with a nice, big doe kid who was at 58# before she hit 2 1/2 months of age (HUGE!)--probably
the fastest growing kid we've raised. She was nearly 100# at 8 months of age, so we're sure she's going to way
outgrow her dam, she's already as tall as she is and still growing!
