DHIR Milk Test Results:
Summer 2010: Terry is still the Number One milker around here. She makes it look easy. Terry is a real asset to our herd. Summer 2009: Terry is still growing into the beauty that we know she will become. She is long and very dairy. Her milk production amazes everyone - including us. She is a consistent milker with a very level lactation curve. July 2008 update: Terry really is an interesting goat to look at. She is so very dairy, yet somewhat...odd looking. Her parts still don't all fit together seamlessly, but where it counts, she comes through beautifully. At her linear appraisal this year she scored as excellent in mammary, front legs, rear legs, and rump. She has wonderful dairy character and is even out milking Cory! Now THAT'S a pretty awesome achievement for a 2 year old! July 2007 update: Terry certainly did not “WOW” the appraiser, though she did score as Excellent in Dairy Character. Besides being very uncooperative on appraisal day, she had been having a growth spurt that made her look scrawny, gawky, and awkward. Next year she’ll do much better as her parts grow together into a nicer looking milker. But for now, Terry is milking like gangbusters and enjoying it as if it were a new hobby. She will easily earn her milking star this year. June 2006 update: Terry is a real character! Very self-assured and comfortable in most situations. She’s growing well and looks like she’ll be quite a bit taller and wider than her diminutive mom, Tessa. Terry loves living on the ranch, playing with her buddies, and getting into goaty mischief. |
