Rhea’s Second-Freshening Udder

Rhea’s First Freshening Udder

Born 3/30/19, very small and fine boned – 21″ at 2 years. Rhea freshened last summer with a perfect delivery of twins. Her production is impressive for a 48lb first freshener. She was bred to SonFlower Ranch’s Gorgeous George for April 2021 buck/doe twins and will be on milk test this spring. Rhea’s very small size makes milk test a challenge for her, but her kids have milk goiters this year, so maybe she will surprise us! UPDATE: Rhea milked an impressive 5.9lbs on her 24hr test,  but it wasn’t quite enough to earn a star.

Kidding History: 

2021: 1 buck, 1 doe; easy kidder.

2020: 1 buck, 1 doe; easy kidder.
