One of Moonbeam's last babies, I have high hopes for this girl. Her dam, Coconut brings some lovely new lines to ourOne of Moonbeam's last babies, I have high hopes for this girl. Her dam, Coconut brings some lovely new lines to our MiniNubian herd. There are high quality udders and MILK on both sides of Shadow's pedigree. She herself is a beautiful little doe with a smooth, level topline, good feet and legs and a super sweet face. Her breed character is pretty good for a 2nd gen 50/50 with mostly pendulous, wide ears that reach the end of her nose. She freshened with a beautiful udder that is very capacious for her small size. Very nice medial, tight attachments and well placed teats. Her teats are on the small side still, but they will likely stretch a little as she matures. Shadow is staying very small at only 25 1/4" tall at 2yrs old. Her milk production is good - volume is fair, but where she really shines is in the butterfat and protein. Her average butterfat in 2017 was 6.4% with 4.2% protein. Excellent cheesemaking milk!

Another set of candid pictures - LOVE the width and depth on this girl! She is 2 years old in these pictures (obviously not full of milk - only a few hours after milking)

Blurry cell phone pictures, but showing her 3rd freshening udder. It's hard to get a photo that shows how larger her udder looks on such a little goat!
