Herriot delivered!

... and she delivered the first triplets we've ever had here! One doe and two bucklings.

Not great pics from my cell:

Oh, how CUTE! Are they little Obers? They look like my (mostly) Ober babies we had in March. Congrats! How's mom feeling?

The Mama is Ober/Saanen and the dad is Nigerian. He was pure white so you see some markings on the ober coloring. Apparently, the Ober coloring is very dominant.

She is VERY busy. She cleans one and the other two start eating

Congratulations! :banana02: I am so pleased to hear that she's doing well and that the kids have arrived. Do you think she'll be able to feed all three babies? I had to bottle one of my triplets - by the time the two bigger ones were done, there was nothing left for him, poor soul.

She seems to be ok now. She is VERY busy.

I will watch closely to see if i need to bottle feed one of them. I hope not. I was thinking about advertising now to see if anyone wanted to buy one as a bottle baby. Maybe.

We were hoping for a doeling that looked like her Mama. Herriot is 7 and this was obviously tough on her - not sure we'll put her through pregnancy again.
