Dolly is looooong and very dairy!
I have a hard time getting pics, so I took a pic while letting the two smaller goats have their afternoon feeding today. Dolly is such a pretty, sweet, and calm girl. She really is the baby and princess of the farm right now lol. Anyhow, I thought this pic showed just how long she is. Not sure why she looks so skinny, because she gets quite the belly during and after meal times. Lol

she is very long and dairy.. Ameila's kids are always like that (not matter who I breed her to) .. but they all wind up easy keeping/roly poly adults.. but they ALL milk really well (with really high tight udders).. Same lady has bought ALL of her doe kids *except the one you got*.. she has a cheese factory.. tells me how much she likes that line.. Some year I'll actually keep one for me!!! maybe this next year.. I'm breeding Amelia to Stones (a Edith son, Edith in her hayday milked 14- 16lbs a day.. her 2nd freshening daughter is on milk test in another herd.. she is milking 15lbs a day).. I really think the combo of these two lines might just have us drowning milk!!!!

glad you guys love her... enjoy her and yes, more pictures.. Dolly's brother went to his new home earlier this week.. they too are in love.. both kids were sweethearts
