I am going for Miracle or Cherry.... but Tess's bag is huge so she may be them out of the first delivery of the year.

Happy Kidding.

Thanks! Cherry is actually a Boer. She looks like twins or triplets. She always has big kids, so its hard to tell.......
Tess is making a lot of milk already, as is Tootsie and Mulberry. I could have sworn that Mulberry was in labour two days ago, but no, nothing.
Bess and Cherry are due today, Oreo, Sunshine, and Crystal tomorrow, Joy and Tootsie on Tuesday, Mulberry and Lark on Wednesday, Strudel, Kenya, Tess, Miracle on Thursday and Escapade on Friday.

Boy Emily, You are going to be extra busy!! I'm rooting for Tess & Cherry. They look HUGE! Actually that picture of Cherry made me think of a cow cause you couldn't see her head. I know I'm nuts.

At this moment, I'm thinkin' old lady Crystal might beat them all. Last year she was the first dairy doe to kid. This year I am thinking she is trying to be first of all the does.
