Done kidding, great year

Thursday my bellyless yearling had twins, a 11 pound buckling and a 6.5 pound doe. I had gone into the house after the buckling thinking that was all she would have, but an hour later there was also a nice doeling up and nursing. My three year old had triplets on April 7 - 1 buck and 2 does. In March my seven year old twins each had triplets - 2 bucks and one doe to each. All kids are alive and doing well. All the little wethers and four orphan lambs get to go to summer camp - they will be petting critters at a guest ranch next to Great !Basin National Park. What a life.

Yay! Congrats! Especially about the wethers and lambs going to a petting zoo/farm! I know some of my does would love to be petting farm animals; all that time to lay around, treats all day, people petting you.... Ahhhh, the good life.
