Milked cami for the first time this morning. I got 1 and 3/4 cups from her with a 12 hour fill. I don't think that's terrible considering she is nursing triplets
She has poor fore udder attachment so I need to work on improving that with her kids : ) I also have to work on teat size...hers...
@MiniSilkys congrats! Hopefully she has them soon hoping for healthy happy doelings (unless you want bucklings then hoping for those lol)
Are you checking for ligaments here? Wrapping your finger around the tail head is not always the most reliable

@MiniSilkys I will try to get the measurements this weekend when I can have someone help hold. I currently do not own a buck I can post photos of the ones my does we're bred to.
I will be getting a buckling(s) in the next couple of months

@MiniSilkys I do not have a measuring stick to measure them. I know Cami is more petite and I did a rough measure (with your standard measuring tape) of moonpie but she wasn't behaving. She was crouching down and sitting back against the stand. It was one of her first times on it (trained her to...
The new boys playing :) their new owners want to call them Alvin Simon and Theodore :) so I just have to figure out who is who lol
The broken buckskin was the smallest weight wise at 2 lbs, followed by the black and white at 3lbs and the buckskin at 3.5lbs
Cami's kids. They have a home lined up to where they will be loved as pets :) all 5 found homes on the day they were born Cami's are all going to my coworker :)
