BUGGY is loooooong, wide, strong and dairy. Her nose is very roman and her ears are long although they have the strange ear set common among polled MiniNubians. Her topline is impeccable. Her milk background is incredible with many top ten milkers behind her. Her sire's full sister and his dam were some of our best milkers ever. Her dam is a gorgeous doe and very easy to milk with a socked on udder. Buggy's udder is absolutely LOVELY. Super snugly attached, high, wide rear udder, a well extended and snug foreudder, strong medial. Her teats could be more plumb and more centered, but they are EXTREMELY easy to milk. Her production is good with a unique lactation curve giving more in the fall and winter than she does earlier in lactation! We really appreciate that as she's filling the buckets to overflowing when the other does are slacking off.

Pictures of Buggy:

This first picture shows how she got her name... She had such bug eyes when she was born! But she grew into them.

Later in lactation:

I have a horrible time getting a good picture of this girl! Her udder attachments are SO snug in person, but do not show up well in photos at all... Here she is in her working clothes in 2024. (milked recently in the side photo)
