We are very excited to add this girl to our herd. She is 2nd generation and has cute airplane ears (the best udders seem to always go with the least correct ears, right?). Meda has a phenomenal pedigree packed with super capacious, well shaped udders and boat loads of milk. Lots of top ten behind her as well as Superior Genetics (SG). Meda freshened at a about 18 months old with a socked on, very promising udder. Her teats are still on the short side, but her area of attachment is great and her udder texture is excellent. Meda's 2nd freshening udder has improved her teats a lot although they are still the shortest teats in our herd. Her udder attachments are still stellar and her capacity has greatly increased. We retained one of her 2022 doelings, Swiss Miss. Meda's 2022 kids showed us some things about Meda that we didn't realize before... Apparently, she has some hidden moonspots and she has the chocolate modifier. She doesn't have many black markings being a swiss/bezoar combo, but the areas that look black, are actually dark chocolate. Fun!

Meda absolutely HATES to have you behind her with a camera, so I'm still struggling to get good udder photos...
