ECLIPSE is an amazing doe although she is NOT photogenic. Eclipse has a ton of capacity and is one of our heaviest milkers giving over 1500# a year. Her rear udder is super high. She is VERY easy to milk. Her teats are longer than ideal, but very easy to milk with large orifices, so we are happy. She is a favorite one to milk here as it only takes a few moments to milk her completely. She is a phenomenal milker and lives up to her highly productive heritage. She is linebred on one of the most amazing MiniNubian does who has become a legend among MiniNubian breeders: VMCH Echo Hill's Molly O'Malley 2*P.  Eclipse's dam's udder was everything I breed for: Incredible capacity, excellent teat placement, high, wide rear udder, well extended and smoothly blended foreudder, correct udder shape and TONS of milk peaking at 10# as a 2nd freshener! Eclipse was been slower to mature, but bloomed as a 2nd freshening 3 year old with amazing production and filled out much more. She has very nice breed character with long pendulous ears and a very roman nose. She has a lovely topline with sharp, tight withers, a strong chine, and a long, wide, level and flat rump (although it almost NEVER looks right in photos!). Eclipse has a sweet, quiet personality. In fact, her voice is so soft that occasionally, she will 'maa' and no sound comes out. LOL.

Check out that milk vein and rear udder HEIGHT!

Eclipse's large teats that have slightly different forward angles make photographing her udder difficult, but here are a few pictures that show how large her udder really is. And check out that WIDE rump!

Eclipse in 2020 several weeks fresh! This girl thinks she is a COW. She is giving almost 6# PER MILKING!!!
