What little doll babies! Congratulations. Even if you were there, you may not have been able to save the ones who didn't make it.

Congrats to two beautiful kids! Its hard to lose kids but don't beat yourself up about it, they could have been stillborn and you could never have done anything in that case anyway. The kids you have are gorgeous!!

Last doe kidded yesterday. The most precious spotted buckling you ever saw to Uhoh. Soooooo 3 bucklings, 1 doeling for the year.

Will post pictures later today. Weather is supposed to be in the 50s so I will have a chance to spend some time outside with them.

I love to watch them do their happy dance!!!!!!!!

Adorable babies!

Do not blame yourself about the ones you lost. I had one this year showing no signs of kidding, I thought she still had a few days. She was in her stall eating her grain, I walked away to feed the others, heard one loud bleat and walked back to the stall. She was still standing there eating, no pushing, panting or anything else. I started to walk away, heard a *swoosh* and saw a dead baby fall out. If she pushed I didn't see it. She delivered two live does within five minutes of that.

Sometimes even when you are present, there is nothing you can do.

Congrats on the two beautiful babies!

OK, here is this years line up

Timex--buckling

Rolex--buckling

Casio--doeling

And last but certainly not least, Bulova--buckling

So far, Timex is the most friendly, and Bulova the most striking. Time will tell. LOL get the pun?
