Update

She had 3!! She ended up having them on July 19th, 2 does and a buck. I will update with pics when I get a chance to get some good ones. I thought for sure 4 or 5, she has had a couple sets of quads in the past.

Did you weigh the kids? We always weigh ours and this year we had two sets of live quads. Both does usually weigh no more than 70 pounds when not pregnant and one had 14 pounds of babies and the other had 12 pounds of babies (not counting placenta & fluid, of course)!!
