Brillig is a sweet and gentle girl, just like her dam, Udderly Precious Mimz the Word *P, who has an amazing will to milk. Mimzie has given us quads twice, and been milked through a year, while also being an MDGA Top Ten. See more below.
Brillig is full sister to Storybook’s Doux Champagne 2*P, whose milk production led our barn among first fresheners in 2023, though we were not milk testing that year. Champagne earned her star the next year, 2024.
Brillig freshened in 2025 with boy/girl twins. We retained her girl, named Storybook’s Alice in Wonderland, sired by Cedar Creek’s Outlaw Blues +*B.
Brilling easily earned her milk star as a first freshener.
Brillig Growing Up
Brillig’s Registration
Brillig’s Udder
Brillig’s FF udder was a bit of a puzzle to us. It is copious and well attached, but even on test day, it doesn’t bulge the way most do. The was her first 12-hour separation picture, and her teats were tiny, but developed into “normal” size over the season.
That said, she’s earned her star as a FF in both milk and butterfat. She has her dam’s will to milk: Top Ten Udderly Precious Mimz the Word *P is by faaar the strongest milker in our barn in terms of sheer will to milk (see her below). We’ve milked Mimzy out for over a year before because we were giving her a break from breeding for a year, and she was still going strong when we dried her up to breed her.

Brillig’s Dam
Udderly Precious Mimz the Word *P
In 2021, Mimzie easily earned her production star. In fact, in the MDGA national rankings for milking Mini Nubians, she ranked 7th nationally for milk weight, and 10th in butterfat weight. She was 5 years old that year.

Brillig’s Sire Line
Brillig’s Sire
Green Gables E Asher *B was a beautiful, sweet boy and I loved him dearly. In the fall of 2022, we lost him to meningeal worm, but he had bred four does before he died. Brillig is one of the four daughters we retained from him in 2023, and is full sister to Storybook’s Doux Champagne, whose udder is fantastic: copious, well attached, and sharing their dam’s will to milk!
Brillig’s Paternal Granddam
Green Gables Snow Camo 3*P is a beautiful doe with a gorgeous udder. We had the pick of Green Gables’ bucklings in 2019, and we chose her son, Asher. We were never sorry! Asher improved udders in his daughters, especially helping them be more snugly attached and higher in the escutcheon.
See pictures of Cami’s udder here. She was a MDGA Top Ten doe in 2020: #8 in milk volume as a 7-year-old.
Brillig’s Kids
2025 Kids at Storybook Farm
Brillig was bred to Cedar Creek’s Outlaw Blues *B and gave us two beautiful kids: Storybook’s Alice in Wonderland and Storybook’s Jabberwocky. Alice was retained and is a gorgeous deep, wide doeling.
