I shouldn't play favorites, but with Leilani I just can't help it. Not only is she a fantastic milker but she has a great personality and is often my shadow around the barn. 

Multiple top ten milkers in Leilani's pedigree! She milks like a dream with nice size stretchy teats, open orifices, great attachments, butter soft udder texture and great capacity for her tiny size. We joke that she is our mini jersey cow, peaking at over 4.5lbs a day on a non performance diet of free choice grass hay, Chaffhaye twice a day and one cup of oats once a day. She is our hardest doe to dry off, with a wonderful will to milk. Add to that she is an angel on the milk stand, always eager to be milked and patiently calm.

Leilani's kids always ended up being my favorites, so over the years I gave in and selected our doe herd down to focus on her line. They are the whole package - quality genetics, easy to milk, hardy and super personalities. Leilani is now a happily retired GG Grandmother who, despite her age, is usually the instigator getting all the youngsters riled up to play with her.

DHIA Milk Record

Please Note: ***We typically only milk once a day unless otherwise noted*** and do not feed for performance. We like our does to be able to hold a steady eight month lactation in good body condition, without having to feed a super high calorie diet to sustain it or boost milk numbers. A screenshot of our spreadsheet where we track current lactation data and targets needed to earn a milk star will be updated below, each month, after we get our results back from the lab.

Previous Lactation Data

*In 2016 we were only on milk test for a couple of months and milked once a day.
