The new girls are here!!

Well they all made it here just fine! 3 nice little does. Here they are~
Daisy~ She is 4 or so and due soon. She has a black nose and her skin is black (at least on her udder). So I'm guessing she is a mix with something but not sure what. She has very pretty little ears and is a rather big girl. She can't get a whole lot wider though or I'm sure she'll pop!
Jersey~ She is the one in milk (she came as number 1 or 2 but I'll call her jersey as she is the color of jersey cream) she's sweet. Likes attention. She is a cross of some kind though as her ears aren't erect. They go up and then flop over. Maybe boer cross.
Cream~ She is dry and bred. She looks just like Jersey. Her and Jersey are also 4. At least close to it.

And to top it off the bully is gone!! Yippee!!

I"m happy for you, Allenslabs. Congratulations! I read your previous post about getting rid of the bully. I'd of felt the same way (even though I don't even have ONE goat). Sounds like your new girls are perfect!

Well I got to milk Jersey and oh wow! She has a perfect flow and is so good! She hopped right up on the stand and stood and ate all her food and was such a good girl! Turns out she's a lover. Daisy and Cream not so much just yet but they will be. But after looking at Daisy closer just her teats are black not her whole udder. The rest is pink. So is her skin. Not sure what all she is. Her right teat is a LOT bigger than her left. Doesn't look bad just big.

Oh well Saanen's can have Black on their udders. Not a all black udder but dots, spots, or patches of black on the udder.
