Nubian LuLu and Saanen Esther KIDDED!

It is all good.. Everything is great.. They had their babies yesterday..

LuLu is the one who kidded first. She had triplets.. Two boys and a girl. Sadly one baby buckling died.. The buckling who died weigh 8 lbs. The buckling weigh 5 1/2 lbs. The doeling weigh 4 1/2 lbs.. TINY!! AMAZING.. I am so glad that I got the doeling alive. She was half dead. I cant believe how small they are.. The buckling and doeling is sooo CUTE!


Esther have twins. Two doelings.. They are BIG!!! They are great. But little brats LOL. One doeling weigh 10 lbs 6 oz.. The next weigh 7 lbs 2 oz..

Where are the pictures? I'm glad Lulu and Esther are doing fine. The temps are getting warmer over the next week - although I almost consider today a heat wave compared to the last few days.
