Planted Pines Mischief 2/8/19 (Little Tots Estate Pandaceae x Planted Pines Zoodles) ADGA/AGS

Mishka

Note to self: there are reasons why a goat earns herself the name Mischief. And no, calling her Mishka hasn’t stopped the cuteness or the...well mischief. She is one of those in your pocket types. Nothing would make her happier than living in the house with us. That doesn’t really work for us so we’ve come to a happy arrangement...she and the other does get to live in the pasture right next to the house. Yes, her favorite spot to rest is right next to the door.

I love her robust frame. She is simply a solid, well put together goat. Her sister, Nutmeg, looks just like her from the photos I’ve seen online. While Mishka has not yet been LA’d, her sister has been and appraised at VVVE 89 in 2020. Yes, she may not have the prettiest head and kinda looks like ALF, but she makes a lot of milk and I’m really looking forward to seeing what her kids are like.  

Milking

We don't call her Mish-cow for nothing. She typically milks 1.5 quarts a day, and that is just after 4 months of natural care following her first freshening. I can't wait to see how her udder develops when she has her next set of kids.

This is her in July, after having had 2 kids back in February as a first freshener. Her typical milk production has been 2.5-3lbs a day.
