Aww! That's cool!! How many do you have kidding total this year?

Our April kidding party is growing! :D Members so far: @Goatgirl47 @Hens and Roos and myself! :weee

ME TOO! :) Just 2 does due.

3 of my 7 does kidded in nice weather ... we had snow & cold a week ago.... but, 1/29 twin bucks, 2/1 twin bucks & trip bucks.
Yes, 7 boys!!! Ahhhh...easy births, 2 were FF, one with trips.

So, have had a couple busy days checking everyone to be sure they were nursing, moms ok, etc.

As Latestarter said, double herd in no time.:hide

Other 4 are due -- maybe late March.

Congrats! And although I love the boys... :ep :th :hit

and :hugs.

Did you use the same buck on those 3 does?

Same on all 7does bred. He does have female sperm:p have some daughters here & other farms. We will see how it goes later. Just not a great market for boys, moneywise. He makes beautiful babies tho.....very typy, smooth, wide bodies and heavy milking background. He's reg mini-nub.

I see some great pets being taken to the chicken swaps this summer.;) Maybe even some marketed for Easter cookouts.
The trips are 5th gen mini Nubians...they may miss the banding procedure. Not sure yet.

Such is life with livestock.:love

Mini-Nubians! I love them... I don't have one though, I was going to get one, but instead I fell in love with an Alpine doe, and so of course, I got her. :oops:
