I have about another 2 weeks to wait on our ewe Mammy.... This is torture..


Im so jealous they are all adorable and beautiful and sooooo stinking cute

The 2nd and
Particularly the 3rd look like their daddy

We call the second "mini drinni". He's wider everywhere than the other two for sure. If I was keeping a buckling it would be him- even though the color on the first is quite flashy.

So, Prissy IS getting an udder. That's a relief. Of coarse she's wide, but she tends to be a bit wide anyway, so I wasn't relying on that.

When she's due? It *has* to be before April 11. Sigh. I'm assuming they will be mini Manchas. Although I found a notation on my calandar that says I took her for aLamancha date in November. Sigh- I'll have to check my other notes because I think it was October.

I hate not knowing- though I've had three people wanting mini Manchas this month- and I don't even breed for them on purpose. Lol.

Can't wait to see what Prissy's been cooking up. No doubt something fun to add to the bunch of beautiful kids you already have.

So, we have Queen due in 2-3 weeks. Prissy due sometime before April first with possible Mini Manchas. Very slight chance of Lamanchas.

This year 5 bucks (twins and trips) and one doe (single.) last year 4 bucks (both twins.) Three different bucks.

Queen is bred to an unrelated buck since we bought her bred. I'm guessing probably twins, maybe a single. What do you think she will have?

Prissy, I'm guessing 2. Any guesses?

Our little grade Ober/Nubian is getting a little round too. I'm hoping it's just that she's an easy keeper. If not it had to be a fence breeding *or* a mistake when she was back at her owners (she's leased to us for the show season) for a week in November. She turned a year in Feb, but isn't really big.

More babies!

We were expecting Queeny's babies Thrs/Fri. Monday hubby was off and we were all dressed ready to go to lunch for my 8 year olds birthday. I walked out by the barn with my purse on my shoulder and noticed Queeny in the goat barn. Weird. I walked in and there was a fresh wet baby on the ground! Saw another bubble so knew there was #2. When she pushed two teeny babies came out at the same time. Girl and boy breach. I knew they were too tiny. The doeling just wasn't ready. She couldn't breathe well enough and only made it 10 minutes. But, the buckling is doing amazingly well. He nurses, though we steady him to make sure he's nursing often enough. Last night he weighed 1 lb 4 oz after eating and had a good baby poop.

Big brother weighs 2 lb 12 oz.

Congrats on the babies and so sorry about the tiny girl not making it

Hope your little guy hangs in there.

So far so good. We let them out in the grass with mom for about an hour today. He's tiny, but other than needing a little help reaching mom he's a champ. He seems to be doing well eating every 3-4 hours and going 5-6 hours at night. Hopefully by Saturday I won't have to get up at 3am anymore.
