Description:

Zenith is a true miniature dairy goat, and brings attention to herself where ever she goes.  She's very refined and elegant, with a long body, uphill topline, sleek neck, and flat, open ribs.  She's basically dripping with dairy character, and many judges have commented she's what a Nigerian should look like.  Zenith does lack overall body capacity and width, something she's been ever so slowly adding with age, but we're not complaining, as at five and having sixteen kids from just four freshenings, she still looks like a three year old.  While for the last three years her herdmate, Tupelo, has been praised for having the better udder, Zenith has really come into her own with her fourth freshening.  I feel that her udder resembles her half sister, ARMCH Rosasharn's Buckwheat Honey EEEE 91's, with the same rear extension, tight side attachments and high rear.  Zenith also boasts a tight medial ligament, tons of capacity while still being high above her hocks, and soft texture.  I wish she had larger teats, however.  While she does have nice extension to her foreudder, unfortunately she does have a slight pocket.  In 2008 she kidded with quintuplets, all of which survived and stayed on their dam.  Even with feeding the small army, she still produces 1/3-1/2 of cup of excess milk twice a day.  Makes me wish she was on milk test that year!

Kalee's Notes:

Zenith, or 'Bug' as I call her, is my favorite goat in many, many aspects.  Only once has she ever had trouble kidding (which is pretty good, considering she's had nineteen kids in five freshenings), and she absolutely adores babies, often watching over all the kids born that year, and has tried to steal herdmate's kids.  She's a pleasure to work with, lady-like milkstand manners, easy to lead and show, and gives me no trouble when its clipping time.  She also has a fun personality, and is very vocal, constantly scolding me for not graining her first, talking to her kids, and I think she just plain old likes the sound of her voice.  Zenith would be the last goat I'd part with, not just because she's beautiful, but because she's also my friend.
