She is a FF to a single buckling as well. Her udder pic is from after I milked her out last night My favorite trait is how loving she was! There is relation to my little Alpine Olive but not immediate.

She looks sooo much like my Stella

@Southern by choice I Weighed her milk from yesterday morning on a 10 hour fill and it weighed in at 2#6.5oz. Although I have been milking her at night too I am only getting a drop or two and nothing worthy of covering the bottom of a mason jar even.

 

[Southern by choice]

When are you taking the kid off?

When are you taking the kid off?

Well, after Scarlet had been doing so great for a while, she decided today she didn't want to be milked. She didn't want to eat the grain that usually keeps her occupied. No, She wanted to dance around and spin around and have a face to face conversation with me. Today was a down in this ups and downs filled journey but I milked her out and then let her in the pen for feeding time with everyone else where she munched happily on grain and Chaffhaye with the rest of the herd....
