And I *Thought* I was finished!

But Crystle has different ideas. She is my oldest doe(ten this year), and though covered many times by Camaro last fall, just kept coming into heat. I figured she was old and deserved a break. I always run a buck with the herd after all breedings are finished, just in case a doe came back in heat. Crystle came in heat like clockwork every month and I quit keeping track. I pulled Camaro out of the herd before the first does were due, in late January.

Two months after my last does kidded........Crystle is uddering up, loosing ligaments and acting *very* pregnant!

Not sure if I'm happy about this or not......its very hot, miserable kidding weather. These kids will be way out of sync with everything else around here. I think she is only going to have one.....hope its not big.

But.....I want a doeling out of her in the WORST way!! Doeling, doeling, doeling, doeling........

I'll keep my fingers crossed you have 2 nice doelings to choose from! I still have my 1 nubian to kid, hopefully in the next couple days too. All my other kids are almost 8 weeks old now so these babies are going to be way behind too, plus it's getting pretty hot here as well.

Oh I so hope you get your doeling. Don't forget to put in your order- it's not too late. Just whisper in her ear every day.

Tell me about it. I think after this I'm gonna find a way to hand breed and not pasture breed any more, so I know for sure!

If she has more than one doeling, is one gonna be for sale?
