One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

[Wehner Homestead]

Dangit Wehner! Why you go posting my personal info on the forum like that?!

Sorry, couldn't resist! I know it was probably your phone auto-correcting "kidding" into "kissing"

Oh my! @Goat Whisperer I was like, what did I do? I’m glad it was an autocorrect issues versus something else.

I had a good chuckle over the "auto correct" too.... had to read it twice, as it was " say what????" then I just laughed.

Our kidding has started back. Hopefully we got our bad stuff out of the way with the first kidding.

Gwen had buck/doe twins last night. They are doing great today.

I was working at home today and Maurine wasn't here. We were on kid watch with Opal and I finished a call and went out on the deck and heard her yelling. I grabbed some towels and ran out there. I sent a text to Maurine that Opal was kidding at exactly 1:00. I sent her another text a 1:15 that there were 4. She had quads in 15 minutes.
3 does 1 buck.

Cookie is in the stall now.

Gwen was bred to Fortunate Son.
Opal to Vivaldi

Glad they are doing well! Congratulations!

Wow, quads in 15 minutes!!!! Congrats on the new babies and glad that things are going smoother.

Congrats on the kids! So glad these kiddings were better for you!

I just love it when they kid quick, gotta love Nigerians.

Wasn't Gwen bred to Fortunate Son last year? You repeated the breeding or did he get out?

Hope all goes well with Cookie!

I'm a little embarressed to admit it. He got out again. Twice. He bred Gwen and her sister Gen. Again.
We weren't going to breed them for spring kids at all. I have to say though, Gen has a doe that is one of our best looking Jrs from last year. And Gwen's udder is looking pretty good.
