I got a few bad pictures..... The first ones are the wildest ones.

Here is Big Red- she could go any time now.

P- I can't get close enough to touch her.

Mocha- she is a first timer

Antelope- this was the only picture I could get.

So hen they are wild I assume they are hard to catch. So do you just not worry about separating them for kidding?

We shut the ones who are closest into a large stall at night but let them out in the morning, if the weather is good. It has beautiful- 50's during the day. It seems a shame to keep them locked up when the weather is nice. I also believe that being able to move and get out in the sun is good for them. I only shut them up in stalls when the weather is bad.

These first four girls are wild. P won't let me get near enough to check her ligaments anymore. I would not be able to bring them in and out of stalls and I don't want to lock them up for what could be weeks. It is a risk but I think the benifit outweighs the risk. Everyone has to do what works best for them.

Big Red kidded with a boy and a girl. Thier daddy is a Savanna buck and you can tell. They are solid whie with black skin.

Antelope kidded with a single boy, same daddy, same coloring.

I have pictures but it will have to wait until lunchtime. It was dark and the mom's are skittish so they are nto good pictures.
