Babies came this weekend!!

Friday afternoon I get a call from my Daughter that our FF Boer is ready. She had twins - Buck & doe. Both were born with only one leg forward. We tried to get the other leg into position but couldn't and they both popped out and are doing great.
Buckling - 9.4 lb
Doeling - 9.2 lb.

Saturday afternoon, our older Boer doe is acting funny so we got her into a stall and and 2 hrs later out comes a massive buckling. This is her 3rd or 4th birth and she had to do alot of pushing to get this guy out.
Buckling - 14.1 lb
This new guy looks like a mini clydesdale.

Thanks to all the forum folks w/ their knowledge. Made us more prepared for the deliveries!!

I don't know if I'll get photos up - I still don't understand the process.

First, upload your photo to an online photo site, such as Photobucket or Flickr. (These sites are free to use)

Next, go to the photo you have on the photo site and click "share". It will give you choices for websites, e-mail, yadda, yadda. Copy the URL that starts with [IMG}.

Paste that URL into a post here. Voila! You have put in a picture!

Congratulations! What a whopper of a buckling that second doe had, bet she's sore!
Would Love to see pictures if you can get them up. I use photobucket & it's pretty easy to do like Caliann said, I just hover over the img code & copy it then paste it here.
