As some of you know our Lamancha Millie was bought with no papers years ago.
After so many saying we should have her looked at and submit papers for NOA we finally did.
We took her down the road and she was gone over with a fine tooth comb and measured etc... all the papers were signed and submitted!
We got her official 0%lamancha NOA grade papers :lol: catch that "0%" :p
Pretty happy about it too because now she can officially be on test and her daughter from last year will now have papers submitted as well.
We did pics today... I will post as I can but wanted to put Millies late spring baby up from last year... don't laugh we didn't finish clipping her neck and head or rear legs!
Notice the vaccine knot on her shoulder? Milliies whole line gets a knot from CD & T's. :rolleyes: Funny what it did to the hair!
Chance was her daddy! This year she will be bred to Tai. :)

She did great considering she has NEVER been on a lead... what a good girl- so not like her mom! :D

I've got a line of ND that get those knots. I just put it in the armpit on that line to avoid it. Keeps people from looking at you like a contagious CL carrier, LOL!

As always ya'll have such lovely goats.

You know, I never understood why people give it in the armpit so that folks don't think it's CL :idunnoThe armpit IS a CL location! Where Tiff has it is NOT a CL location.

@samssimonsays I have to respectfully disagree. I know several vets that specialize in goats and none of them say that. One might be a "specialist" but let me tell you, I have had many disagreements with specialists. And have won the argument :D

@samssimonsays that's nuts! Usually people get knots from not going down deep enough and it is between the layers... so that is a weird thing to say. I know a few vets give it IM so there are no lumps.
Tiffany has not lump the knot was tiny but it destroyed the hair around it... strange isn't it. Completely smooth- just like a scar... I groomed a dog once that had gotten a bad cut on it's head. It was a BEAUTIFUL silver Miniature Poodle... the hair that grew back was solid black... it stayed that way the rest of it's life. No show career for that lil guy.

I am perplexed by the armpit too... years ago we did armpit and stopped... for the very reason that it is a CL location.
Still cannot figure out why Millie's line is so sensitive to it. :\

Thanks @Ferguson K she may be a grade but I'll take all Millie has... just try to put bucks on her that improve confirmation... but they are some hardy milk machines.

This guy does underneath the goat in armpit. Not on the side. Just enough so it isn't visible in the ring. Ellie has a very small lump there from her shot and since it can affect their show careers it makes sense to put it where its not seen. My Alpine olive had a pretty bad reaction to her first cdt shot. She got pretty sick after it and still has the lump at two years old.

My vet said when examining a doe kid (that I had recently bought and did not vaccinate and had a lump in her armpit area) that he did not know why anyone would vaccinate in the armpit when it clearly says on the bottle to do it in the neck/shoulder area and not the armpit.
