Summer 2016:
It is hard to believe that Cora is a 5 year old already. She had her final appraisal this spring and scored as Excellent - but that isn't hard to believe. She is a lovely, very productive doe.
Summer 2015:
Cora continues to be a powerhouse in the milking parlor. Her udder is gorgeous - tightly attached, with lovely fore udder and nice teat placement. Cora kidded with quads this year and is making us proud in the milking parlor.
Summer 2014:
Cora is a very laid back milker, easy tempered and calm. She loves coming in for milking and I just love having her in there. I take extra time cleaning her udder – not because she is dirty, but because her udder is so nicely, tightly attached and so productive. It’s a joy to feel.
Cora scored as Excellent on Linear Appraisal this year and she really deserved that. She is a stately, well put together girl.
Summer 2013:
Cora is still a quiet girl, easy to overlook at times. But milking time is not when she is overlooked! She comes in and jumps onto her milking stand, producing lots of milk for our cheese making. Cora kidded with quads this year.
Congratulations to Cora - she is now a Superior Genetics doe!
Summer 2012:
Quiet little Cora easily kidded with twin doelings this year. They were such lovely girls that we decided to keep one. Cora is milking well from a lovely udder, received a great linear appraisal score, and really seems to be loving her job here at BMR.
Summer 2011:
Cora is one of three doelings born to Celeste this year. Since Celeste has become a beautiful, productive milker we are very happy to keep a daughter of hers. Cora started out a bit shy, but then started hanging out with Jackie and Crystal - real rapscallions. Now she is interactive and curious. We are looking forward to watching her grow.
