all three girls today are bred to Edge (the sire of Dill & Olive's babies)... I bred most of the girls to him this year...

Edge (the black & white buck).. next to him is Giada, with Gloomy behind her (Giada is a big red roan, white belly band.. her dam is a Longman doe, she is a Smooth Operator grand daughter..so far all she has ever given me are twin bucks.. year after year LOL) she has a high, tight udder.. easy to milk.. very steady gallon a day girl.

Carla (blk & copper doe) she carries some of the wildest spotting/marbling genes in the herd. She is also my favorite doe in the herd to milk.. lots of milk.. perfect hand sized teats.. big orifices..lots of butterfat

Lydia is the brown doe (solid ears).. She is the daughter of one of my all time favorite does.. Charlie (who weighed in at 225 lbs.. NOT bred.. milked like a cow!) Lydia is all business on the milkstand...runs in, jumps up.. stands dead still.. milks out quick and easy.. when you are done, she turns around (waits for a kiss) then out she goes for the day.. she is HUGE this year (I kept a doeling out of her last year...-she had twin girls-.. couldn't be happier with Linnie, her daughter)

susie, mo ozarks

Gloomy is ALL black, not a single white hair to be had. her dam Ruthie, had another totally black doe the next year.. Rowan (she is in Oklahoma now).. I would love another one or two.. Ruthie is due until mid April.. she already HUGE
