NUTMEG has a super sweet personality and BEAUTIFUL breed character.
Both of which she readily passes on to her offspring. Her sire Jasper has thrown gorgeous kids, and
Nutmeg is a great example of that. Nutmeg's dam, 'Arthur', is a lovely
doe that milks like a cow. She averages around 7 lbs a day. Nutmeg got
her beautiful breed character from her sire - long, soft, well shaped
ears and a slightly roman nose. Nutmeg is a smoothly blended doe with
overall nice conformation. She has a sweet face and a lovely
personality. Nutmeg's udder is soft and she is super
easy to milk. I wish I had gotten a better picture of her udder,
but you can see how soft it is even though it's not very full in the
pictures. Nutmeg had a chance to prove just how sweet she is
when she broke her left rear leg in the spring of 2008. She was so well
behaved about it and submitted to the many x-rays and vet appointments
with a sweet and loving attitude. As long as I was with her, she was
calm and content. The vet thought we'd have to sedate her to set her
leg, but Nutmeg we so well behaved we didn't have to (for which we are
very grateful as anesthesia is dangerous for goats). After a pretty
hefty vet bill, Nutmeg recovered well from her accident. Although she
will probably always have a limp, it looks like she will be able to live
a pretty normal life.
UPDATE 2010: Nutmeg's leg is well healed and
although her leg is not as straight as the other, she doesn't even limp.
She gave us 2 beautiful doelings in 2009 and two more gorgeous doelings
in 2010! |
