New Does!

I finally went and got my two new does! The second testing came out negative, so it was time to go get 'em!

They are lovely PB French alpines from Grace Hill. They are 11 months old and bred for May kiddings. One is a cou clair and the other is a mostly black sundgau with black ears. They are in an isolation pen and will be tested one more time and in there at least a month before they go in with the rest of the herd.

I'll have to get pics tomorrow as it was dark by the time we got them home.

I'm excited. I want to show them in a few sanctioned shows this year... but in May I'll be having to train them for the stand... eek! two first fresheners!
