Ruth and Peanut kidded! The kiddings overlapped and it got a bit hectic!

Peanut started labor and had a kid. Ruth starts hollering. Peanut has another. Ruth contracting.
Peanut has another. Ruth screaming. Peanut has another, I snatch up the kid and put it in a tote and run to Ruth.
Waterbag out and 1 hoof. She's straining and screaming...crap. I go in, thought the head was back at first but it wasn't. Couldn't find the other leg but got the kid out. A huge doe! Followed by a huge buck!

So 3 does, 1 buck for Peanut and buck/doe twins for Ruth! All the kids have had colostrum except 1 of the quads. She's being a jerk with the bottle so I'll try again later. Stresses me out when they don't eat right away though. They are all healthy and active though.
