One Fine Acre Spring Kiddings (Pictures of the Does we kept)

[OneFineAcre]

Had our first today, E1. Cookie on day 149. Big single (4lb) doeling. I guess singles are Cookies thing, 3rd Freshening, 3rd single. I don't mind singles, Lord knows we don't need the goats. At least in our experience, doelings at least nurse both sides and don't get the doe lopsided. Single bucklings seem to just want to nurse one side.

She was born about 9pm. We brought her in to get her good and dry. It's going to be 29 degrees tonight, but she is good and strong, so we just took her back out with her mom. I feel that's always best.

Look at me Mom, 4lbs.

Nice! She looks good and sturdy! Congrats on your first kid this year.

She's very sturdy. Had no problems with the cold weather last night. Is nursing very strong. And it looks like she's already nursing both sides

Her first kid was a doe, and nursed both sides every single time she nursed. Kept her udder perfectly balanced. Last kid was a buck and only nursed one side. Before we even noticed she became totally lopsided and we could never get her straight.

We had Zamia and Rosemary due this past Sunday. But, we actually had two dates. When we put Rocky in we saw some initial breeding activity, we left them together for a week and saw them breeding again later in the week. So, apparently the later date is correct. It could get busy around here this weekend.

I wish my wife and daughter good luck. I'm leaving today for the ACC basketball tournament.
