Context is everything! Can't tell how small she is until the 3rd picture. You'll need a stand 3' high to milk her ;)

Pretty girl! I love that she has an "E" in mammary.

Looks like she was clipped not long ago, will you start/continue showing her?

Very happy for you!

She was clipped just before I bought her.

I'm thinking about showing her at the NFF this fall. But, I'd have to pay double the entry fee, another HC, she's pretty stale (on 4 day a week milking with 1 kid on her), and I'm not sure there would be enough does in milk at the show for it to be sanctioned. So, still not sure. I'll wait a couple weeks and see how her udder looks.

She's a really small doe. :)

Well... since you asked, I'm drawn to the second possibility basically because the doe is polled. I like polled goats and since the buck isn't polled you know any kids born polled would be heterogeneous. See I don't do well disbudding my wee kids and being hetero polled is a big plus.
We like the polled goats too. We bought 2 beautiful little doelings last January from a breeder east of the Cascades. It was one heck of a trip to go get them in the middle of a massive snow storm but these two were well worth it. The breeder has even told us we can have first refusal on any polled doelings born this next spring. We are looking forward to breeding the two we already have next fall.

LOVE your goats. The last pic, she is so adorable!!! Since I have full sized Saanen, that one is tiny, tiny to me. Even my mini Nubs are larger than her.

I don't show, just produce & milk.

I finally got some "set up" pics of my Edelweiss and Dazzle. Criticism of both their conformation and my handling are appreciated (yes, I know Dazzle's rear legs are too far back). :)
