Yeah, most of my triplets were 2 bucks to 1 doe. Had a set of triplet bucks too. Doe dance didn't work here either.

Good looking trio! Sorry no does though. Wow, great udder shot. My first thought was "ouch!" (I kind of remember feeling like she looks ) Now for a newbie question maybe. How long since she was milked when the pic was taken?

Oh they are beautiful and so is mama!!!!!!!

That's how my LaMancha looked before kidding. I got enough colostrum from her to freeze for several emergencies if need be. She's gone now, but I have her twin does who look exactly like her and they are bred for the first time this year. I can't wait to see what they throw.

My LaMancha crosses are my very favorite and I look forward to them kidding more than any other!

Congrats on the beautiful kids. Do you have a pic of the buck?
