I have so much to say about Winky. She is one of the best girls to milk. Her udder and teats are in my opinion perfect for a homesteader who uses the old fashioned method of hand milking. Her udder is soft, her teats are large, and expresses a nice open stream. She gives us half a gallon on once a day milking. If I milked her twice daily im sure her production would be upwards of a gallon. She's an excellent mother too!Winky was a bit shy when she first came and it has taken a lot of time and patience to get her to come around. She loves treats and will jump on the stand for me and squat for her milking session. Just a wonderful girl! She is a daughter to Black Mesa Leonardo Dicapra *B.Update 8/21/2025:Winky was not able to participate in 2025 Linear Appraisal because her tattoo was not legible. We are going to fix this by getting her microchipped! Also, we have changed the feed regimen for Winky. She cannot be on any Alfalfa, solely grain hay and grain. She is an incredibly productive doe, and we noticed when she's on Alfalfa that she loses her condition and becomes mineral deficient. She's already showing major improvement and we will get an updated photo of her posted! We are so incredibly proud to see that Winky produced 10.4lbs on her first test! Way to go Winky!Linear 2024FS82 ++++
