Ok, it's insane. 
You're going to have so many gorgeous kids this year!
Roll, you sure about that?
Nigis are so much fun!

I have to get udder photos of everyone this go-round, too...hand milking everyone til I decide who's showing in late April. Hottie, who I've never milked before...WOW she has big orifices! If the wench didn't know how to unlock the stanchion she'd be a dream to milk (I now tie a rope around the head lock, TWICE she's unlocked it and taken off mid-stream). Four days fresh, and she's giving right at a quart a day. Bella is milking over a quart a day, and while she has average orifices, she has nice long teats, so takes me less than five minutes to milk her, too.
(Bella's udder photos are under her doe kid for sale ad in BST)

Bella's udder and Omo's photos all grown up are EXACTLY the reason we retained Bella's buckling this kidding...ksalvagno said:So I guess this is a good thing for Omo and his potential offspring.
You can't ask for better teat placement! Dead center front to back and side to side...the only improvement I'd make on her is capacity - which Omo should have that improvement from his Rosasharn lines - Thread starter

It's -2* here.
At the midnight barn check...Princess' ligs are gone and she's strutted.
I THINK she's just messing with me and wanted her own personal heat lamp...well, she got it.
ETA: I looked back at my paperwork...yep, hand bred her August 28th. This is probably IT.
ETA#2: TWINS! pics later today LOL I'm going to bed!

Congratulations! Too bad it was so late. At least everything went well.
