Milcah is a lovely, moonspotted doe who is one of our first foundation does. Born in April of 2018.
Milcah’s dam (and Sunny’s granddam): Skillman’s Jill
Skillman’s Jill is a Mini-Nubian star milker in three generations. She also has 2 milk star daughters and one more first freshener daughter qualify for milk star this year.

Skillman’s Jill: pedigree.
Jill’s milk production records, during her second lactation with single doeling. Skillman’s Jill was on pasture with very little grain and no alfalfa:
Skillman’s Gloria AR 2*D is Jill’s 3/4 sister (same sire and dam’s dam). Picture is of her as a FF yearling with triplets.
Skillman’s Jewel is the maternal sister of Milcah and Sunny (her sire is 1/2 brother of Milcah’s sire). The picture at the left is of Jewel’s udder as a FF yearling with twins.

Milcah’s 2019 Kids
Irina Skillman could not catch Milcah in heat until January 12 of 2019. She was bred that night to Sunny (pictured below) and kidded on June 12 with doe/buck twins. There is more information about this outstanding buck below.
Milcah and her twins in 2019. Left is pictured Skillman’s Andromeda (Meda). Right is Skillman’s Magellan. Milcah’s udder was high and tightly attached, but not very capacious as a first freshener. We are eager to see her second freshening in 2020. We did not breed her doeling, Meda, in 2019 because she was too young. We plan to breed her in the fall of 2020.

Milcah and Asher’s 2020 Kid
In 2020, we bred Milcah to Green Gables’ E Asher *B and they produced a singleton doeling, named Toot Sweet. (To read more about Asher, click on his name.) We are eager to see how this freshening will improve Milcah’s udder!
