July 2008 update:

Cinnamon grows more beautiful each year.  She is sweet and productive, and we just love having her around.

July 2007 update:

Cinnamon is a gorgeous girl – she has a friendly face, great body capacity, excellent dairy character, and she is a very strong milker.   She still has a hint of shyness about her, yet a determination that allows her to push into the milking parlor when it’s her turn to be milked, or to push up close to her person if she needs extra loving.  Cinnamon kidded with triplets, gave lots of colostrum, and is now milking like the pro that she is. 

July 2006 update:

Can a new milker be any cuter than this girl?  We doubt it.  Cinnamon is still a bit shy and easily confused.  But she’s learned to come into the parlor and wait for the other more boisterous goats to push by her.  Then she waits for Kathryn to show her where her stand is and she dutifully jumps up onto it.  No, we don’t move the furniture to confuse her, she just likes to be sure.  Once on the stand, she munches her grain and gives lots of wonderfully rich milk.  She really likes the animal crackers that she gets on her way out the door – which she finds with no problem, all by herself. 

More background on Cinnamon (2005)

Cinnamon is a gorgeous brown with brown ears and black trim, almost like her mom but just a little lighter. Cinnamon is a little less outgoing than some of the other kids, but she does sneak up for some loving when the rowdier bunch are busy elsewhere. She’s getting less shy though, and soon will be demanding as much attention as possible.
