I know for a fact that your farm has many nice ammenities for taking care of animals and the utmost efforts and knowledge that go into caring for them. I know that you guys did all you could do to save her and the babies. It is a very emotional rollercoaster to deal with the loss of an animal. We seem to have had a rash of several losses going on here in the last few months. You never forget those animals. They do leave a footprint on our hearts that is for sure but somehow it is seen to that out of our grief another crosses our path to fill the void and ease the pain. Prayers.

Warrior is a daddy to 2 beautiful kids. A doe and a buck. They were a week old on Saturday.

I am sorry for everything you all went through, and that the babies could not be saved. Can I ask what her diet was like in the last 2 months of her pregnancy?

She had a really good alfalfa/grass hay free choice and specially made grain ration that we order from the mill...plus minerals, of course. She was a first freshening two year old.

All our other does are doing outstanding on our feeding program, in excellent condition and we are watching our other girls like hawks...8 more days until they start coming due
