AOF Peg's Agnes Grey 5*D 1*M
DOB: 2-20-2010
Even though Agnes is only a first freshening two-year-old, I am more excited about her than I've been about any doe, although admittedly Alexandria is giving her a run for her money! Both does earned milk stars in their first freshening, and Agnes is still producing close to a quart a day after ten months. It will be interesting to see how long she continues producing, although we will be breeding her this fall for spring 2013 babies. In addition to her excellent production, she also has the best teats I've ever had on any doe, Nigerian or la mancha. She also has large orifices and a soft udder with a smooth fore udder. The photos really do not do justice to her mammary system, but now that my daughters are grown up, I don't often have anyone to help me take photos at the most opportune times. These pictures were taken when she was ten months fresh and only had six hours of milk in her udder. Agnes is also the friendliest goat in the pasture, always running up to anyone who goes out there, and if you don't pet her enough, she won't hesitate to grab your clothes and give them a yank to get your attention!
Agnes has two milk records listed for 2011 because she milked straight through for more than 13 months without freshening again. The first record is her 305-day lactation, and the second record is her complete lactation.
