G6S Normal by parentage

Honeysuckle is a strong, short doe who is out of a Nigerian buck that we brought in for his heavy milking lines. Honeysuckle's dam, Marigold, has stellar conformation and extreme breed character. Her teats are very long, which helped Honeysuckle have teats that are longer than you often see with high % Nigerian. Being 75% Nigerian, Honeysuckle has wild flyaway airplane ears that are SUPER cute and she is staying nice and short. She is so extremely friendly that it is almost impossible to get a good picture of her without help as she is always underfoot. She has a LOVELY, level topline (hard to find in MiniNubians), nice feet and legs, excellent width and depth. She is also very short at only 24.5" at a bit over 2 yrs old.

UPDATE 2019: Honeysuckle freshened with a heavy producing udder. Her teats started out pretty small, but have stretched to a nice hand milking size now.  As a first freshener, she had a foreudder pocket. I will reevaluate her after another freshening before selling intact bucklings out of her. She is available for $400.

The last picture here doesn't show her topline nicely, but you can see how her teats are a good size now.
