Summer 2010:

Mig is growing well and looking to be on a nice gentle path of development.  She kidded with a single doeling and it took awhile for her milk making apparatus to develop, but she is doing well now.  Next year - just watch out!  She'll have it all figured out.

Summer 2009:

Everything points to the fact that Big Mig is going to be awesome!  Her mom is awesome, her sire is awesome,  her LA score is awesome, and her attitude is awesome.  We are delighted to have this girl in our herd and can't wait to see how she develops - we're sure it will be just...awesome!
