Summer 2011:

It's fun to look at Tasha's pictures and see her development year to year.  She is a slow maturing doe and the pictures show her progress.  Tasha is a delightfully productive doe.  This year she kidded with quads when we were only expecting twins from her! 

Her 2010 lactation was short due to her being our "winter milker" with an extended lactation the year before.

Summer 2010:

Tasha is milking great and looking fine!  Tasha worked as our Winter Milker this year, giving us our "house milk" when most of the other goats had been dried off.  Then, after a couple of months vacation, she kidded with triplets and got right to work helping out our cheese making business.

Summer 2009:

Last year Tasha still looked and acted like a kid, this year she is all grown up.  She looks great and is a sturdy, productive milker. 

July 2008 update:

Enthusiasm is this girl's middle name!  She is a real go-getter.  Tasha is milking well and is as cute as can be.

July 2007 update:

This girl was up and walking before she was even dried off.  She joined right in with the older kids and never had a problem keeping up with them.  She is a fun girl to watch and we expect great things from her.
