When one of our top does, Penny, had a nightmare kidding gone bad, we didn't think there was any way her horribly malpositioned kid would have survived. But God is kind and when the precious gold doeling cried, we all did, too. We lost Penny the next day, but she left us her golden miracle baby and that is just what we decided to name the doeling.
Miracle is one of the sweetest, most friendly girls in our herd. But let's face it. Miracle is not photogenic. Not even a little. We had to sort through about 427 photos just to find one that looked halfway decent. She is actually much prettier in person and has a lot of good conformational points. We are hopeful that she will be just as beautiful and productive as her mother and her older sister, Goldilocks. We look forward to finding out when she kids in February, 2025!
Update March 2025: As Miracle's kidding date approached, we got more an more excited. Her rear udder arch was developing and we had a feeling it would be impressive. The other impressive thing was her size. She was MASSIVE and waddled and groaned for the last month of her pregnancy. Her kidding was a little rough, with kids in funky positions, but we got them pulled easily. She had a gorgeous set of buck/doe twins and holy shamoly! This girl went to work making milk! At less than two weeks fresh, we are getting half a gallon a day from her in addition to what she is feeding her buckling. Her udder is one of the nicest we have ever had and we can't wait to watch it develop during her lactation!
We weren't planning on keeping any kids from Miracle this year, but we are so impressed with how her udder is shaping up, as well as how prolifically she is producing, that we just can't help but add her doeling to our keeper pen this spring!

Miracle's first freshening udder.
She had just under half gallon on an 11 hour fill at 3 weeks fresh!
