SPICE is a beautiful buck out of one of my favorite does, Nutmeg. Nutmeg's udder is soft and she is super easy to milk. She also has high butterfat so her milk is very rich and sweet. The first milk test of 2011, she gave 8.2#!!! That's over 1 gallon in a 24 hour period. VERY good for a doe that is only 25" tall and weighs barely 100#s. She also has a will to milk - we milked her through in 2012-2013 for a 18+ month lactation. Spice's dad is also from a line of milkers with great tasting milk. Spice has gorgeous breed character with LONG, wide, pendulous ears. His coloring is the icing on the cake with the red buckskin and MOONSPOTS. Spice has wonderful conformation. He is long, deep, wide, good brisket, smooth blending, good rear leg angulation, nice strong topline with a flat level rump, tight elbows, great breed character, good feet and legs. But best of all, he puts lovely udders on his daughters. His daughters have very nice udders with long, easy to milk teats, good attachments with smooth foreudders, excellent production. and he improves breed character and adds color. We LOVE his kids. We have retained several of his daughters - Lady, Cami, Jane, Countess, & Noni. You can see pictures of his daughters' udders below.

Spice's fall 2014 V-show photos, stinky, in rut and not set up at all... He still took GCH in one ring!!!

A few candids of Spice at 5 years old. LOVE how he has matured.

I LOVE THIS BUCK. Such gorgeous conformation and when standing completely natural he looks GREAT. Super strong feet and legs, long, deep body, amazing topline, and the udders he puts on his daughters are INCREDIBLE. Spice is 6 years old in these pictures. As you can see, he has held up really well.

A few more of this gorgeous guy.

These pictures show Spice's personality pretty well. Calm, gentle, sweet and with a knowing, intelligent look.
