Lily is a shy 6 year old with a lot of width and depth to her. She's a taller, a bit more refined doe than was her dam, is long and level over the topline with nice length of neck. While Lily has always had a mammary that is welded to her body wall, she has lacked in foreudder length. However, the height and width of that rear udder combined with the strength of attachment has all come together for a V in mammary. With a strength score of 32, a rump width of 35, we're happy with how this doe is maturing.
While not the biggest milker in the herd at her peak, Lily has a long, level lactation curve and ends up with good total numbers, especially her butterfat and protein levels. Unfortunately this year Lily freshened with a very bad case of mastitis which has affected her production, but we are working towards getting that cleared up and having many more productive years with this girl.
