Octavia… freshened for the first time with an udder that was well attached with nice division between the udder halves. She has good sized teats that express nicely. Her teats as a first freshener point out to the sides a bit, but because she has that really nice division between the udder halves I fully expect to see her teats become plumb by her second or third freshening as she matures and carries more milk. This is something that linear appraiser; Betty Henning taught me.
Update 3-21-22: I was absolutely correct about Octavia’s teats becoming plumb with maturity. Octavia has such a wonderful mammary system in EVERY way that I have been really picky and not posted many photos until today because I just seemed to not be able to get photos that did her justice. Finally, a couple of days ago, I got some good ones, showing her fourth freshening udder and have added them to her gallery. This lady is absolutely amazing. She received an LA score of EEEE 91 as a 3rd freshener. Now I am hoping she will be able to do it again as a 5 year old so that she can have a wonderful permanent score. Octavia is mean to all the other does. I find myself having to give her time out periodically since she is a power doe and I fear that one of these days she will damage someone. However, her PMS moments are worth putting up with for a doe of this caliber. I am happy to say I now have an Octavia daughter and a grand son in my herd.
