first kids of the year!

We have kids!

Maybe delivered two healthy little kids Tuesday morning at 11am; a boy and a girl, 7.5 and 8 pounds each. And a perfect day for it too, sunny and in the fifties! Much better than today, around freezing with a winter snow storm going on! The kids are a saanen boer mix and look almost identical to their mommy, the girl with pointy saanen ears and the boy with floppy boer ears. Maybe comes from a show farm so was not allowed to nurse her own kids, and at first did not like them looking, but settled in quite quickly when realizing they sure take the pressure off. 


We liked the boer buck we used last fall, and these two are some nice kids, so we hope to buy one of our own for the coming season. Makes it easier if we have a buck right on property, I won't have to chauffeur the girls to their date :)

Snow White also gave birth to a nice buckling during the night, but as far as we can back track the little buck asphyxiated on a piece of inhaled caul and was found dead at the morning feed... I'm going to try to keep her in milk, but she's not having any of that, and sits down, right on the bucket!
