Pictures of Esmerelda's triplets!

It was very hard to get good pictures as they are so friendly that they keep coming too close and sticking their fuzzy heads into the camera!

Here's the firstborn, a buckling that my dd named "Joehan" even though I tild her not to name the boys or get attached to them. Yeah, right!

The 2nd born, also a buckling, very assertive and much heavier than his siblings, also a real piggy-wiggy about nursing. DD named him "Nibbles".

And the sweetie doeling, DD named her "Adelina" and she is the one I am keeping. There are some great milking genetics in this breeding. She is an annoying nurser! Takes little gentle sips and then backs off. She was doing some frisking when I took this picture. They are so cute when they frist start getting playful, they try to spring up and they get tangled in their own feet!

Nest babies, end of the month, minis and Nigies!

BTW, the 1st born buckling is free to a good home---he could be used as a herd sire or he would make a sweet wether. He is very, very mellow and sweet.

Jill,

I see why you are keeping her, she is absolutely precious. What a nice color she is.

These are definitely nice looking little critters. The boys are quite handsome.

I just love the markings on the first little doe and buck. They're all adorable.
