He was born April 8th. He’s a bottle baby. :)

Danny is a handsome little guy! He has a super wide rump and hopefully he’ll pass on his mama’s foreudder. :)

Almondine and Mary Arden (Almondine FF daughter) also kidded this year both with twins. Structurally I like Mary Arden’s udder better than Almondine’s, she just needs to gain capacity. She freshened with an udder so small it would be tiny for even a Nigerian, but she’s gained a lot more...

One of our bucks had a leg amputation a couple of years ago after a dog attack. He healed up quickly and did great until last winter. It was just too much pressure on his other bones I think and it really messed up his feet. He passed away last month I think mainly due to not being able to get...

I really enjoyed LA this year. The appraiser was great and I had a great experience. It wasn’t my 1st time attending an LA, but it was my 1st time participating. My new boy is out of Dragonfly APT Aramus x SGCH Castle Rock Angelika VVEE 91. His name is Almar Acres Danika, AKA “Danny”. :)...

Euphoria ended up kidding 5 days before her due date on February 10th with triplets (1 doe, 2 bucks)! I kept her doe and sold the bucklings together as pet wethers. In March I went to my 1st show with Euphoria, Edelweiss and Dazzle. Euphoria was 1st in her class in 2/3 rings, the...

IMO... I like the rear udder arch. Teat placement/medial could be better. Teats are tilted forward a bit more than I'd like. I'd like to see her vulva so I can see how high it is. Personally, I like udder clips where the side attachments are visible, but I know some people differ on this and...

Actually, yes. I bought a cheap hand milker and the first time I used it on only one teat. It turned purple! Of course, that was the last time I used it. I'm not sure if the difference in size is due to that or single kids. She is the only standard sized goat I milk, so I can't really compare...

12 hr. Of course!

This is my Saanen, 2F and a few months into her lactation. I love her medial and teat placement (although you might say they are too close as they touch during some stages of her lactation/fill). She could use a wider rear udder arch. Definitely could use more capacity and her udder doesn't...

Oops, thought this was that thread!

Which one is that? IMO... I love her plumb teats. It looks to me like she could use more rear udder height, but it might be lower because she's not full. I don't see a pocket in her foreudder in this angle of the photo, but she could maybe use more foreudder extension if I'm being picky. I'd...

Have you weighed her on a scale? She looks heavier than 30#s to me, but the pictures may be misleading.

Lute has taken 3 days to work for me before.

@OneFineAcre, @Goat Whisperer, @Southern by choice, @babsbag do you have any nice udders you could use to demonstrate?

Go on ahead!

I have the blue ones. The blue lines are gradually chipping away, so you'll eventually have to draw over the lines with a fine sharpie to make them complete.
