Aster is a goat with a lot of promise! While she is shy, she has her circle of deeply trusted humans. She is eager to please with desire to understand what we want and deep sensitivity like a loyal, loving dog. I love her deep, rich red brown and coat and expressive eyes. She is very dairy with her levelness and smooth body. I expect great things from her in a year or two when she is more mature. She has recovered nicely from her 2023 mastitis. She did battle mastitis in 2023 after kidding a single buckling left one teat more vulnerable to infection. SAt peak production, her good side milked just under a full gallon a day in 2023. Aster had a lovely butterfat average that lactation over 6%. This year she has peaked at a 9.9 lbs a day in 2024 so far.
Aster is an American Nubian.
