Sparkle freshened very nicely, with a beautiful udder, and milk, excellent stand manners, she is an all around great doe, friendly!, but she has developed swiss facial markings, that don't meet breed standard.
Update: Sparkle face when Shaved does not have the facial stripes, so she does meet standard, that means her doe kids from an American Guernsey, or higher buck, can be American Guernsey. I still need to make room for her daughter, or I would be tempted to keep her.
She peeked at 7lbs a day, hand or machine milks easily, milk flavor is good, but a little different than my favorite does.
We have cut back to milking once a day and I have not measured since.
