Here's one I've been impatiently waiting on for MONTHS! Aspen is a fantastic aged doe - she's got the udder we want more of in our herd and also the conformation. Her last kidding (the first kidding under our ownership) was somewhat disappointing with a single buckling. I pretty well expected her age contributed to the singleton, so expected another single.

We bred her to our MCH buck, Fire Flame...and hoped for pink, but decided we'd keep whatever she had.

And...we got...TRIPLET DOES! :celebrate

Here they are!

It was one of those labors where she'd start to push again and DH and I were going, "NO WAY! REALLY? AWESOME!" I didn't have enough towels LOL

You're right, it just doesn't get better!

That whole 'running out of towels' thing can be a mixed emotion issue...you're thrilled to get more kids, but wondering what the heck to dry them off on.
After 2 sets of quads this year, I started leaving 2 sacks of towels down in the barn instead of 1....then I never needed the extras.
You just can't win....:p

Congratulations! If I remember correctly, you've had a buck-filled year, right? They are all very beautiful!
