2013 Lactation Now in Progress

Summer 2012:

Quiet little Cora easily kidded with twin doelings this year.  They were such lovely girls that we decided to keep one (Percy).  Cora is milking well from a lovely udder, had a great linear appraisal score, and really seems to be loving her job here at BMR.

Summer 2011:

Cora is one of three doelings born to Celeste this year.  Since Celeste has become a beautiful, productive milker we are very happy to keep a daughter of hers.  Cora started out a bit shy, but then started hanging out with Jackie and Crystal - real rapscallions.  Now she is interactive and curious.  We are looking forward to watching her grow.
