2016 Lactation Now In Progress |
Summer 2015:
We almost lost Serenity this year due to her having a really hard pregnancy. She was trying to grow 4 big buck kids and it was just too much for her. We worked hard to keep her going and even induced her to kid early. One of the boys survived but the others had died earlier. Serenity took a little time to recover but is doing great now. We are very glad.
Summer 2014:
Serenity is maturing into a beautifully powerful and productive doe. Her udder is tightly attached, easy to milk, and capacious, with teats that hang plumb. Serenity is quiet and easy going, loves her job and does it very well. Serenity is a favorite around here and we love having her on our team.
Summer 2013:
Serenity is a quiet, easygoing girl. She seems to be growing into her name - a big contrast from her younger years! She is milking well out of a very nice, well attached udder.
Summer 2012:
Serenity is a yearling milker now. She loves her job and is very eager to come into the milking parlor for work. She is doing a great job and we expect that as she matures she will be quite a powerhouse.
Summer 2011:
Serenity is the spitting image of her mom, Sydney. That is just fine with us! It is fun to watch her as she grows. It's like revisiting the past when Syd was a kid. However Serenity is anything but serene. She is a first class Rapscallion. She can launch herself over the gate on the milking parlor deck, as well as over the gate onto our "people only" deck. Nothing stops her - yet. Hopefully she will slow down enough next year to get milked twice a day. Until then - let her run and jump. It's cute.
