ZEPHYR is beautiful doe who has very nice breed character and a wonderful udder. Her dam is 75% Nubian so Zephyr is about 60/40 (Nubian/Nigerian). Her ears are wide and pendulous and her nose is very roman. Zephyr has a beautiful udder - nicely proportioned, extremely soft, and well attached. Her teats are very long and easy to milk. Her udder is very correct in shape showing the 1/3rd, 1/3rd, 1/3rd when viewed from the side and having a high, wide rear udder and wide, smooth, well extended foreudder. Zephyr milks very well at about 5 lbs of milk a day. Zephyr has lots of body capacity and is over all a very well put together doe.  Zephyr's dam, Windy, is a very good milker giving about 6 lbs per day - see Windy below. Zephyr has lots of body capacity and is over all a very well put together doe.

The judge of MDGA's 2008 V-Show really liked Zephyr and chose her as Reserve Champion after Misty as GCH.
