Barbossa wins “Inkiest kid” by a long shot. Mine are rarely quite this bad. 🤣 He snatched the paper towel to clean himself up, as we were clearly incompetent.

First milk test of the year! All 3 girls knocked it out of the park. Acantha and Selket are Nubians, and both had first gen babies. Acantha had quads and is kicking off a really fabulous lactation, Selket had triplets and is still steadily increasing (so I don’t think she is quite at her peak yet), Aoide is a first freshening Kinder with twins and is *incredibly* productive for a first freshener!! Pictured is Aoide’s udder.

Udder assessment! Aoide - 2yo FF, 3 weeks fresh.

She jumped into milking like a pro and is already over 6 # per day and climbing - incredible! She is a chunky mid sized doe, barely 24” and around 130 #. I’ve loved her since day one and I’ve been so excited to see her udder and production! She is going to be one of those Kinder does that proves that you don’t have to sacrifice dairy character OR meat character to get BOTH 😍

Now for some pros and cons of her udder structure. Rear udder attachment is lovely. Held up high, rounds out well behind her hocks, with lateral attachments coming easily halfway down her udder. Absolutely love it. Her foreudder is medium long and smoothly blended into her belly. Texture is butter soft, with good sized orifices. She milks down very well, without excess tissue.

The cons are obvious 🤣 Her medial is still developing as her capacity develops, and I anticipate it will be adequate but not ideal. Her teats are small, too laterally placed, and point out and slightly forward. The slight forward point isn’t too bad from a practical perspective, especially when hand milking. But pointing out and the overly lateral placement is obnoxious 😂 Fortunately her soft texture and good sized orifices are saving me on getting her milked out. This will likely slightly improve with time, increased production, and subsequent freshenings. But she definitely needs to be bred to bucks with teat placement and size in mind.

Overall. I’m incredibly happy with her ❤️

A short kidding season began and ended quickly! My breeding list ended up a little differently than expected. I bred 4 does and by the time I realized one of them wasn’t pregnant, it was later in the season than I wanted to deal with. I also ended up with one Kinder/Pygmy cross litter, as my jr Kinder buck wasn’t up to the task last fall, and my only other Kinder buck was her father. So I ended up with only 2 sets of Kinder kids.

3 does
9 kids
1 litter each of twins, triplets, and quads.
4 doelings/5 bucklings

Two girls still looking for a new herd! Both girls are correct, wide and level. Really great udder and production potential.

Sicily - first gen doe. Comes from several generations of homebred Nubians. Pygmy sire comes from a family of lovely udders.

Gemini - 2nd gen doe. Dam comes from concentrated Still Meadow genetics. First gen sire comes from the same lines as Sicily.
