At first glance, Erica isn’t much to look at… she is a big girl all around.  Her first owner apologized about her being fat.  We agreed that she could “milk it off” and she is definitely doing that!

She does have a nice layer of fat, but under that are some very nicely sprung ribs.  The rear-most ones are a bit shorter than we like and this narrows her abdomen, but her size leaves her with plenty of room inside those ribs.

Her body capacity is very large, even more than Chambray, and she has a great set of legs.  Her neck is her biggest weakness – she has a short neck that looks a bit “meaty.”  You see her eyes, travel down her neck and think you are looking at a Boer doe, but everything behind that neck is dairy. 

This season she has settled and she has a fantastic udder that is well attached all around.  I would vote her to have the best attachments of all the goats in our herd.  She also makes the most milk of all of our first fresheners.   Her mom is a 7*D and her sire is a son of the stud-muffin Stetson ++*S.  There is a lot of dairy character back there that has come out in her first freshening!  (Her full brother (pic) won 2 Reserve Champions and his daughters’ (pic) udders are wonderful too).
