Miss Mabel is the perfect example of unregistered stock that is worth her weight in gold, and will easily earn her keep here! She has really impressive genetics, out of Carrheart Mi Hermosa and by Creekwood Acres Cassanova, but was never registered. She's a powerhouse in a small package. She kids easily, and outproduces her own conformation (just wish she'd give us some girls!), stays fat and healthy easily, and has maintained a steady milk supply from just 1x/day milkings since February. Her mammary structure is beautiful, and since Sugar is still out of our milking lineup, I'm using just Mabel milk right now. This is her yield of cheese from a gallon of milk... wonderful! This will be about 2 # of chevre, but I'll weigh when drained. Her milk gets a thick cream top with a rich, but still mild taste as milk, and develops into a complex, very tasty cheese. She will not be bred this year, but will be milked on an extended lactation next year.
