Wow... check out that very impressive udder!!  "A picture speaks a thousand words"

Her owner, Joanne Karohl, states: "Greatly increased capacity this time (first test day 5.4 pounds milk; averaging 4.8 pounds per day at 75 days), but still the same nice attachments."

Fun loving Calli, with the same sweet disposition as her dam (looks AND cries like her too! If only I could stop calling her Zee!).  Level, long neck, nice width, nice leg set, beautiful, feminine face.  Calli came to live here at approximately 3 weeks young.  I used to bring her in every day to nap with me (I think I enjoyed it more than she did).  She loves attention and affection.  When I sit low to the ground, Calli will put both front legs (curled under) on my chest and I know she's hugging me.  I just love this little doe! Her sire, Dragonfly IH Orbit , will be a buck to be reckoned with, I think!  He is currently a herd sire at God's Love Farm.

Dealya's dam is Old Mountain Farm Dubonnet; Old Mountain Farm's first homegrown Master Champion.  Dealya is so refined and eloquent.  A beautiful "dairy" body, long and very level, pretty face, long neck and such a good friend!! She is "my girl"!  Shy with strangers, but so well behaved.  A great mother too!  She has a lovely personality and is very smart and patient.  She tells you she's though on the milk stand by tapping her left foot.  She reminds me of a little black stallion... very sleek and dignified.  We can't dismiss her wonderful pedigree, either!  She has excellent manners on the milk stand and easy to milk with large orifices; though her teats do point out slightly.

Flat Rocks Meshach *D

Sire:  MCH Flat Rocks Flash 'E'  ( 
Dam:  Willow Creek Holy Smoke (  

DOB: 10/7/1995 - 12/8/2008 

Per Sue Brennan: "This picture doesn't begin to show what a lovely doe Meshach is, nor how horribly unhappy she was at being photographed!  Nonetheless, she cooperated *somewhat* <g>, although her attributes aren't shown well.  This doe is deep and wide, and has a near perfect mammary system.  I'd have to say that Meshach probably has the highest rear udder in my herd.  Her udder has incredible lateral attachment, perfectly placed plumb teats, and tons of capacity.  Her udder's only weakness is the foreudder - she has a shelf and could use more extension.  Oh well - she's still a huge asset to the herd!  I did make an attempt at showing Meshach, which I'll never do again.  She was stressed out more than I've ever seen, bloated up and basically flipped out.  

 

At 13 yrs. old, Meshach is still going strong.  This crazy old goat has become one of my all time favorites.   It appears that this old gal's reproducing days are long past, but she's more than welcome to live out a life of leisurely retirement right here - she's earned it."

Retired; Meshach died in her sleep the morning of Dec. 8, 2008 - a long life, well-lived.
