Ditto my dear! x100000!
Don't forget we are still waiting in Shadow! How she hasn't popped yet I have no clue! Today will be her 150 if she took the last day she was with Cadillac. Either that or were on 156. I haven't checked her yet, I'm moving slowwwwww this a.m.
Will update soon! So glad you got to have your babies while you were home and got to enjoy them!!
Thank you Pioneer-he is my hubby fav too. he is very sweet and lovebug. These boys are seriously the best babies I have EVER been around. why must they both be boys?!!! Hubby just says we can always have show wethers...oy.
Shadow is driving me batty!!!!!!!! I've had her in a birthing pen for well over a week now, yesterday was her 150 if she took on her last day with Cadillac....I thought she began early stages of labor last night, heard calling in the night and nothing. then this morning, I was cleaning her pen and she began showing signs of labor. I ran and got my birthing kit, fresh shavings, and a trash barrel. Came back in and she looks at me like WHAT?!
I decided I'd sit there for a half hour to see if she simply was wanting me to be there...she began scratching herself on the pen, plopped and chewed her cud. Lalalalala. Oy vey. Her mother Bambi did this poo to me!! The fake out....I mean WHYYYYYY?!
Just trying to stay positive and know little ones aren't ready yet and everyone being healthy and happy is #1. The last thing I want is her to rush, but is also don't want her to push then stop and me lose babies and momma. Ugh.
Thank you everyone for keeping watch and waiting with me during our births.
Shadow went into labor last night, at 5am she was very distressed and I had to very forcefully pull a stillborn beautiful doeling out of her. I wouldn't have been able to do this if it wasn't for my dear friend and fellow breeder Tracy on the phone, as I was a screaming crying mess.
Shadow and I are heartbroken and very thankful she is okay.
'Eclipse' was a black and white doeling, with a white mask, and the infamous Goulet pattern on her rear (like Appaloosa). She was a very healthy 4.5lbs, huge single for our little Shadow.
Remember how important it is to have support in our herd community! We are all valuable to eachother. I hope everyone is warm and dry in this yuck weather were having.
