3 generations with the fourth on the way (Jill)

3 generations with the fourth on the way (Jill) - Goats
Picture taken 5/20/12
The above are all from the same family. They go back to Danielle who was 1/2 LaMancha/Alpine and 1/2 Nubian (elf eared). Her sire, Cam, was our first buck and her dam, Braveheart, was one of our first does (Nubian).
Left to right-
~Elegance- 3/4 Nubian, 1/4 LaMancha/Alpine. Born 2002 to Danielle. Dam to Shiloh, Jyllie's goat, and our Genevieve-P (along with a few other daughters). Unfotunately, at 9 years old I suspect she took a year off from breeding.
~Next to Elegance is her polled granddaughter, B72-P (15/16 Nubian, 1/16 LaMancha/Alpine). She is Genveive-P's daughter out of Kieran (psst rootwings). Born 3/2011. Just delivered a single doeling by Charmont on 5/21/12. Not yet named, but that post will hopefully come soon.
~ Next to her is her dam, Genevieve-P (7/8 Nubian, 1/8 LaMancha/Alpine). Born 12/2006 to Elegance and Rudolph Valentino-P. Sholih's twin. Just kidded for the fifth time. She also had a single doeling by Charmont on 5/26/12.
~ Behind her is Shelby (3/4 Nubian, 1/4 LaMancha/Alpine). Shelby is a maternal half sister to Elegance. Born 2/2008, she was out of Danielle's last kidding. A set of triplet doelings by Rudolph Valentino-P. Danielle was 9 at the time and lived another year. Shiloh kidded a couple of months ago with twin bucks.

On the left is Genevieve-P's doeling. On the right, next to her dam, is B72-P's doeling. Both Charmont babies.

Bumping up for Jill....

Also, does anyone have any name suggestions for the unnamed doe or either of the new doelings?

This is my favorite dam line, I think. They have mostly good udders and they milk well. Hold up well and are all around nice milk does.
