I never have to milk this goat again. I am excited. No more getting stomped into the milk stand if I am too slow putting on the inflations. No more Nera deciding to get off the milk stand when the mood hits. She is so big the headgate can't close but food usually keeps her occupied although not always. I have had her drag the milk machine to the exit gate before. Plus she is so wide she has to squeeze through the gate. I think I will cross her to my LaMancha buck next year and raise giant LaManchas.
This is IDGRC XO91 MMV Nera Nave. What a name. She must be trying to live up to it because she is a handful and is HUGE. She is older and isn't the best in the milk department this year so I never thought she would earn her star. BUT the April test will put her over the 1716 pounds of milk required for her to become a star milker.
