Enjoyed the photo's and if that "V" becomes pronounced during her growing years she will truly be a Victory Baby.

"V" for victory. A successful delivery.

Congratulations

My other doe kidded today, also with boy-girl twins. I'm pleased that I got a girl from both of my does. Even though their dad was a LaMancha, they got pretty big ears (I have to admit, I'm pleased about that). Here's some pictures of them.

This is the girl.

This is the boy.

This is the girl drinking from her (very patient) mama. The doeling seems to end up with the teat sticking out the side of her mouth about 90% of the time, but she always figures it out eventually. In this picture, she had it right!

Here's mama cleaning her brand-new girl.

That's about that. Yay, four babies, and one girl from each! Even with ears on the alpine crosses! I couldn't have asked for more.

I'm planning on keeping both doelings for at least a year or two. I might end up keeping a daughter from next year from Dot instead, so my "replacement" for 9-year-old Dot will be a full alpine instead of a cross. For now, I'm glad I can keep a doeling from each doe. The boys . . . well, unfortunately I haven't got a use for them unless I could eat them, and I don't think I can bring myself to do that, at least not this year. So they're probably going to auction. I have to face the reality that probably they'll still get eaten, and it will be a less pleasant way to go, but I'm pregnant and thus producing lots of bonding hormones, and I think it would be unrealistic to expect myself to eat these particular boys. I have a small amount of hope that I can find a buyer for two pet wethers . . . but I live in a farming community, so I doubt it. I'll look!
