Wanda and her single doe.
LV and her triplet does!
Well, what a day yesterday was. Thank goodness Joe was able to get the day off from work. The kids were coming so fast and furious I practically needed a catcher's mitt!
LV (Little Voice) started things off with a bang ... triplet does! They are the first triplet does I have ever had. LV is one of my nicest does conformationally and has just a beautiful udder. Tempo has great length, wonderful dairy character, and is very correct conformationally also. It will be difficult choosing a doeling to keep. I wish I could keep them all, but that is not an option.
No sooner had LV finished and Wanda began pushing. A beautiful little doe sired by Obama. Four does in a row ... I can hardly believe it!
We finally got kids and moms situated and figured we could sneak in some supper but that didn't work either. Andromedia began talking up a storm and acting strange so I turned the stove off and went to check on her. Not to be outdone by LV, she delivered triplets too ... 2 does and 1 buck. Seven kids total today and six are does! My doe/buck ratio is looking pretty good right now but I know very well it can change in a heartbeat.
Everyone is doing well. Still waiting on Cinnamon and Windy. Come daylight I will try and get a few pictures to post of Andromedia's kids. I might even try for a little snooze .
