DHIR Milk Test Results:
Summer 2010 update: Espeez is an easy girl to spot. Even when surrounded by the other goats, she stands out. She is tall and proud. She is also a great asset in the milking parlor and the kids she produces are gorgeous. Summer 2009 update: Even though Espy is a very big girl she is incredibly quiet and easygoing - a gentle giant. For the third time in a row Espy has earned the title Elite Doe. July 2008 update: Espy now easily towers over all the other goats. She is a giant. It's a good thing this girl is so easy going and cooperative! Espy loves to come in twice a day for milking and does a great job of it. Congrats to Espy for being named an Elite Doe by the USDA for the second year in a row! She was also awarded her Superior Genetic title last fall. Summer 2007 update: Espy is still a big girl – tall and lanky. She is only a yearling now but is as tall as some of our full grown girls. She is milking as much as some of them also! She is a great contributor to our cheese making. She is a bit shy coming into the milking parlor, but once in and up on her stand she relaxes and enjoys herself. Summer 2006: Espy is a big girl. She was born big (9.5#) and continues to grow. She’s a strapping girl and quite stunning to see. She has a nice presence about her. She pretty much hangs with her friends and doesn’t need too much human lovin’, but when she does, we just love loving on her.
