Summer 2011:

Princess is really cranking out the milk this year and making us work double time making cheese!.  She is taking her job seriously.  She is a beautiful, long doe, very dairy, and fun to have around.

Summer 2010:

Princess is maturing nicely and doing well in the milking parlor.  She is a big contributor and a fun girl to hang around with.

Summer 2009:

Princess is, indeed, growing into a beauty!  She earned her Superior Genetics title and milking star last year, scored as Excellent on this year's Linear Appraisal, is milking very well as a 2 year old, and she is looking good out there on her ranch.  Good looks and lots of production - what more could we want? 

July 2008:

Princess still considers herself to be royalty at times but is content to also join the rest of the production crew for morning and evening milking.   She is growing well and looks like she will be a beauty.

July 2007 update:

It didn't take this little girl long to let us know that she was royalty.  She was born screaming her demands.  She had to stay in the house for a couple days of pampering because she had been stressed during delivery.  During that time she demanded attention and special treatment.  Her mom, Poppy, is quite a regal girl so we guess it makes sense that the daughter is too.  THE Princess is a colorful, moon spotted kid with tons of potential.
