Too cute. She looks very proud of herself.

She is adorable!

How much does an Oberhasli eat versus the other large dairy goats? Also, how much milk do they usually give?

They're not as 'large' as our other goats, or maybe I mean they're finer boned. Our Nubs and Toggs outweigh them easy.

It's hard for me to say how much they eat, I feed them all at the same time in one long trough, and then they get whatever they can snarf down on the milk stand 2 x a day.

As far as milk, last year I milked one doe (Penny, who's due any day) and she really, for her size, produced a lot better than I'd expected.

Jinx just started milking today (and she's not really diggin' it, ) Her udder's pretty congested and sore, bless her heart. It doubled in size overnight.

I just don't have enough experience w/ milking Obs to feel qualified to have a real opinion, but I'd say Penny made more than the Nub FF's, but not quite as much as the Toggs....Roughly 6# per day.

Jinx's mama has won a silver and a platinum "belle" production award for the amount of milk she makes from the OBA...so I'd say she should do quite well.
