We have had quite the eventful year in kidding with 28 kids born, and split even on bucklings and doelings. We only have one doe left to kid, but she's not due till July.
This no name doe had her kids out in the back of the pasture on a beautiful day. They were already up and nursing when we discovered them.
Jubilee checking on her kids.
The First two kids born playing "sliding down the shed".
Dolly, our spoiled bottle baby, lounging on the couch. She was born with severely contracted tendons (caused by lack of room in the womb) in her front legs. We have been splinting them, and it is working to stretch them out. She was also born with a waddle on her right ear, so cute.
27 kids playing before the sun goes down. My favorite time of day to watch them. There is a large hole in the ground from the squirrels, and they have turned it into a play spot. Kids will play with anything.
Black twin doelings from Henna. Both turned out polled, and oh so gorgeous.
My little buddy. Everywhere I go in the pasture he is right at my side or jumping on my leg trying to get me it pet him. He is soooo sweet, I hope we can find him a home as a breeder. I would hate to see him go for meat.
One more picture of everyone romping.
