Belle is her dam's mini me. But with even more milk! Lady, Belle's dam, was of one of my best milkers (highest volume in the herd in 2018). Belle's sire is out of the best milking MiniNubian I know of (peaking at almost 2 gallons in one day!!!). Belle has gone on to pass up her dam and has been on the MDGA Top Ten list THREE years in a row! She has a lovely udder with amazing capacity, excellent teat placement, and a well defined medial. She is easy to milk. Belle has decent breed character although typical of Lady kids she has a lot of control over her ears. Belle keeps looking better and better as she matures. She's a HARD one to photograph as she always looks 10x worse in photos than in real life. She has excellent depth of barrel, good width, beautiful angularity and sharpness while still having good strength. Her kids have been excellent.

Pictures of Belle...

As a baby:

Belle's ff udder!

Belle 2nd freshening udder:

(3rd picture milked out - she has excellent udder texture and milks down very well)

Belle's udder on the first milk test day of 2021. She gave 9# on this test.

Belle in 2022:

FINALLY got some good pictures of Belle! I discovered that she looks better in pictures in the fall than in the springtime as she's putting everything into the pail in the spring and looks a bit gangly when she's on the thinner side. She has begun putting on a bit more flesh towards fall and looks better in pics.
