Shawnee, the doe I bought during the "Splash of Color" sale, is due the 23rd.

This is the buck she's bred to....

(I imagine my dear Freeney will look a lot like him when he grows up.)

She was ultrasound confirmed bred / carrying twins in April.

If she has twin boys, or traditional kids, y'all will hear me pitching a fit...It doesn't matter how far away you live. If you hear screaming and feed cans being tossed around...well, you'll know I'm not a happy camper.

To make it more interesting....I have tickets to see Trace Adkins 2.5 hrs away on the 24th. Most of my boer does go late on or the day after their due dates.
I really wrestled w/ what to do...cancel going...induce her labor 1 day early...take my chances.... :idunno

I *never* leave this farm for more than a few hours. This is a 'girls day out' w/ my bff....I need this.

So....I spoke to the vet and her former owner, who said she's never had kidding problems, and she is SURE she saw her bred, so the due date's not in question...she looks / acts like she's a week away....so we've decided to give Lut on Thurs. night.
She should kid no later than Sat. morning. I can be here to help deliver and then get the kids off to a good start before I leave late Sunday morning.

:fl < this is me wanting spotted twin does...or spotted twin buck / doe combo....anything but traditionals. Please. :fl

I guess technically I should be saying I want DAPPLES, since he's dappled, not spotted...but most people call all the 'different' color patterns "spotted"....

Her dad is a BL/WH paint, I'd even take a paint doe who carries the dappled gene....but MAN do I want one that looks like him AND is a girl AND is a fullblood.

Oh please oh please oh please...I'll be good...I'll feed her cookies every night...I will do my chores on time...etc. etc. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

(Totally jinxing myself, probably...)

Yes, dappled is a more appropriate name. The markings on his face are so striking! Crossing my fingers and toes... Woot, baby thread season! :clap

I can not wait to see what she has.....I am praying for 2 dappled does for you. One red and one black just to keep it interesting.
