CRISSY is a beautiful chocolate doe - the one doe out of Ivory's sextuplets. Although she has a lot of control over her ears, they are long, soft, wide and well shaped. Crissy has beautiful conformation and a special personality. Crissy's dam is a very good milker with a lovely udder and is easy to milk. Crissy's sire also comes from great milk lines, and Crissy's first freshening started off with great production - first test had 5#'s of milk and 5.2% BF! She ended up getting bred back earlier than planned so her lactation was not long enough to earn her milk star, but she earned it in a one day test in 2012. Her following freshenings have been even better. She milks heavily through her whole lactation giving over a gallon (8#'s) much of the time. Crissy's udder is very soft, with tons of capacity. Her udder is tightly attached, well shaped, and wide. Her teats are nice & long and extremely easy-to-milk. The main thing I would like to improve in her udder is a stronger medial suspensory ligament which would also help her teats point more correctly down. Other than that though, I am extremely happy with Crissy's udder. Crissy is a family favorite for milking - she has a great will to milk and is usually still giving lots when the other does are starting to dry up. We have retained one of her quad doelings from 2016, Noni and a doeling from her last kidding in 2019.

Crissy is retired due to a kidding injury in 2016. We will be milking her as long as she continues to produce. She is still going strong at 371 days in milk with a steady 1/2 gallon per day (4#).

UPDATE 2019: Crissy got herself bred again this past year (miscommunication between humans here), so... She kidded just fine with QUADS at 10 years old! However, we do not want to risk breeding her again, so are offering her as a doe in milk (she's currently milking over 6#/day (3/4 gallon) with almost 5%bf and 3.4%protein). Last freshening she milked for 1053 days!

Crissy a few days after her first freshening. I love that deep, long body, correctly shaped udder, sharp withers, well-blended shoulders, correct legs..... Only things I'd change much are teat placement/stronger medial, and breed character.
