I have some beautiful doe kids from Judah. He is gentle, and easy to handle, he can be stand offish with strangers. My only complaint is we have gotten a few kids with black markings from him, mostly on initial out crosses with our Alpine does. He has also had some kids with white patches. We have recorded his DNA with ADGA. We also got his Alpha S1 Casein results, which are E/F. I currently (in 2020) have only two daughters in milk to him (one milking with a precocious udder), and a friend has ...

Jem is a beautiful looking little doe, she is Daffodil's granddaughter. Jem's dam had an improved udder over Daffodil's, but we can only keep so many.

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.
