Sandy Cheeks is a Verbena x Churro triplets, one of two doelings. She was an absolute pest as a kid and then decided she did not like people and even got to the point she was hard to catch. Suffice to say, she was on the short list for selling after freshening. 

Her giant buckling was nose and toes but had a big noggin and required serious assistance. Sandy Cheeks was such a good girl about it and despite her trouble, immediately embraced motherhood. I suppose it helped her bond with me because she's been almost friendly again. She may never be a doe that loves pets but that's okay.

Her giant buckling is mud-fat and now I see why! She milked an impressive 5.3lb on her first test. I fully expected her to be a handful on the stand but she stood incredibly well. Her teats are not big but they've grown a lot since freshening and her orifice is nice. Her udder is not as soft as Verbena's but attachments and rear arch is improved. I was also happy with milk down, though I did forget to get a photo until she was off the stand. Excited to see how she continues in her first lactation!

Please note that she is in the experimental herdbook with TMGR and grade herdbook with MDGA due to MDGA not recognized TMGR NOP does.​​
