2013 Lactation Now in Progress

Summer 2012:

Joy loves her job on the milk stand and eagerly comes in and jumps up.  She has lovely plumb teats and wide rear udder arch.  Joy did quite well on linear appraisal this year. 

Summer 2011:

Joy scored very nicely this year on linear appraisal and is milking great.  She has nice plumb teats and great attitude.  Joy is a sweet doe that we really enjoy working with.

Joy has now earned her Superior Genetics title!

Summer 2010:

Joy is very appropriately named.  She is truly a joy to be around.  She is a very happy kid and enjoys spreading her love around.  She is growing well and looks like she will be quite a beauty when she is done.  Joy has very long ears, great breed character, and she has the genetics behind her to make her a powerhouse in the milking parlor next year.
