DHIR Milk Test Results:
Summer 2011: It's hard to believe but Celeste is starting to act like the Herd Queen! She proudly takes her herd out to browse and leads them back again. Celeste is looking great and has matured into a fine, productive doe. She kidded with triplet doelings this year and is now one of our most powerful milkers. Summer 2010: Two year old Celeste is starting to look like a grown-up! She is maturing nicely and doing a great job in the milking parlor. Celeste is a sweet natured girl and we love having her around. Summer 2009: What a striking young lady Celeste has become. She is lovely, friendly, loves her job, and is milking very well for a yearling. She is still finding lots of time to go out browsing around the ranch with her buddies and even climb a few trees. Summer 2008: Celeste was the second born of quintuplets. That's right - she had 3 sisters and a brother! All 5 were healthy and active from the start. It was a hard decision picking which of the 4 girls to keep, but Celeste won us over with her dairyness and personality. She has a big job ahead of her - living up to the standards that her mom, Cory, has set. But for now, she is enjoying life as a BMR kid - playing with her friends, browsing in the valley, and climbing her favorite tree.
