2017 Gold is very wide in the hips and her Dam had a well attached udder for a Guernsey cross, so I am looking forward to seeing her freshen. Her Dam's Sire is my Mischievous Adam (French Alpine), and Dam's Dam is Treasured Sunrise Gloria a BGS registered FB doe.
2018 Gold is an amazing doe she gave a gallon a day at peek as a first freshener, and we milked her a total of eleven months, before drying her to kid in July.
2019 She is giving just over a gallon a day as a second freshener. She refused to dry up for her third freshening and was milked once a week, until two weeks before kidding 2020. She contracted a case of mastitis that left her slightly lop sidded. Tested negative for CAE 2020
2021 Gold gave us triplet boys this year, with ease. She peeked at nine pounds, and is one of my favorite does for cheese. She is a gentle doe, who loves people. She hand or machine milks very easily, with good flavored milk. She can get a little thin when milking heavy. Sadly we need to make room for her two daughters, and her grand daughter. She is a great doe for breeding up with.
