Update: 1/17/23: Chocolat is an impressive milker! She has done two extended lactations where she came back up to a half gallon (peak production) the following spring without kidding. Her 305 totals are also worth noting: 1120 and 1230 lbs. Chocolat doesn't peak high but she holds it for a long time and comes all the way back up the following spring. She is also a full sister to Caprice Des Dieux who just finished a lactation of 1640 98 65! Chocolat is currently ranked 97th percentile in the nation!
Chocolat was appraised during peak production (9/5/2021) and scored VEEE 90. A year later (10/18/2022) Chocolat was appraised on an extended lactation and scored ++EV 85. We tried to fill her udder clear full but she was obviously not at the same point in her lactation. It was also October and her production was dropping. We also had a different appraiser who was more focused on GA (General Appearance.)
Chocolat has a strong brisket, beautiful fore-udder, no elbow out, and a nice rump angle. I wish her medial was more defined.
1/2021: Chocolat is a strong milker doing well in her second freshening. She peaked at 4.9 lbs at 92 days in milk. At 148 days in milk, she was milking 3.8 lbs. She is currently in the 90th percentile and at 270 days in milk (after moving) she is still milking 3.3 lbs of milk. She is set to milk over a 1000 lbs. I love to see a doe who can milk well clear to the end of her lactation!
