DHIR Milk Test Results:
Summer 2010: Two year old Celeste is starting to look like a grown-up! She is maturing nicely and doing a great job in the milking parlor. Celeste is a sweet natured girl and we love having her around. Summer 2009: What a striking young lady Celeste has become. She is lovely, friendly, loves her job, and is milking very well for a yearling. She is still finding lots of time to go out browsing around the ranch with her buddies and even climb a few trees. Summer 2008: Celeste was the second born of quintuplets. That's right - she had 3 sisters and a brother! All 5 were healthy and active from the start. It was a hard decision picking which of the 4 girls to keep, but Celeste won us over with her dairyness and personality. She has a big job ahead of her - living up to the standards that her mom, Cory, has set. But for now, she is enjoying life as a BMR kid - playing with her friends, browsing in the valley, and climbing her favorite tree.
