I also have her son, but he is sold and leaving as soon as I breed a few does to him this fall)...

Edith is only 9....but after losing Jena (threw a clot nine days before her due date.. she was 10) ... I couldn't emotionally risk Edith, by breeding her anymore.. her last pregnancy went wonderfully.. easiest labor she ever had.. gave me the colorful triplets.. Couldn't ask her for more.. so hopefully she will *not earn her way* for many, many years to come.. just lazing away here on the farm.
