Horray it's over

Just wanted to express how happy I am....:banana02:...kidding season here at Topside 1 is offically over. Twelve does sucessfully freshened with no fatalities. Way to many bucks and not enough sleep....I'm complaining now, but in a few weeks I'll be looking forward to next season, no doubt. Hope all is going smooth in your neck of the woods. TJ

mines just starting. put one in the barn last night that I thought sure was ready.She hollered all night. Due date was yesterday.Ligaments are gone.Yawning and stretching,bags full.Now she is just mad at me for separating her from the herd. She had trips last year and the year before and it is just too cold for her to kid outside.Not to mention she is the first one to kid out of my spotted nubian and sure as I lost one it would be the spotted one. The others he bred aren't showing the signs she is yet . Then I have 6 more due mid March that are bred to my Boer buck. The other 12 I am breeding for fall kids.
