WhiteMountainsRanch Kidding/Journal Thread; Summer Update

[WhiteMountainsRanch]

So my does apparently settled on the first breeding, (not the second breeding a week later), so the babies came a week "early"! And, the count is up to TEN, from only 3 does!



Ghia: triplets, two boys and a girl. All camouflage with moonspots!
Joline: triplets, three boys. All camouflage, two w/ moonspots.
Minyette: quads (again!) three boys and a girl, one moonspots the rest brown.

Please send healing vibes for Minyette, this was a rough pregnancy with the second baby stuck in a "C" shape. I had to go in and lift the pelvis so it could be born breech. She is very tired and having a slow recovery. Gave her vitamin B shots, penicillin, nutri-drench, and electrolytes and grain and alfalfa. Hoping she is just tired!

All babies up and happy and healthy!

Will post pics asap!!!

The little spotted one on the left is the girl. You can bet we will be keeping her!

Sorry I haven't been able to update lately, BYH not working very well on my computers. Went back to work full-time and we had puppies, yearlings all gave birth, processed our piggie! LOTS going on! If anyone wants to follow our blogs we will be updating them on our website mostly from now on. Here is the link! http://www.whitemountainsranch.org/the-homesteading-survivalist-blog Thank you for reading and following us!

Wow so much has been going on in the last few months!

My new Arabian has a tendon injury, and it's mild, but a long slow healing process, and SO frustrating as he was supposed to be my new endurance horse.

Found out some crzy neighbors stole two of our puppies!

We kept all five Mark doelings, and three Mongo doelings. So far I like Mark's babies much better.

Also have one second year cross that is both Mark and Mongo lines, and she is turning out very nice! Can't wait for showing and linear appraisal next year!

And it's "that" time again! Bred Sedona and Minyette to Mongo, and Joline, Camille, and Cheyanne to Mark. (Hope Joline gives me girls this year!) And found a VERY nice champion buck named Kona, who's lines I like better than Mongos', to whom I bred Ghia, Ghiselle, Incantation, and Aurora. Can't wait for this years' baby crop! 9 does due, hope everyone settled, woohoo!

Oh no, I hope your horse doesn't get injured again and that this recovery will go by quick.

Some neighbors are crazy! The kids I babysit have a house on their property that they rent out. Well, the crazy renter went and stole a whole litter of kittens from their barn! Luckily, they quickly gave them up when the kids' parents kept the mom inside and wouldn't release her until they got the kittens back. Also, MY neighbors had a batch of adorable terrier crosses, and one day they came home from school and they were gone, including the father! There was a note though saying (not even joking here): "I took the puppies." It wasn't signed, just that. And a boot print.

I wish you the best! (with next year's kids, the puppies, and your current goats.)
