Last Babies for this year!! (pictures)

And of course it's 89 degree's & so hot & muggy! I have a fan going in the barn & they love it!
These babies are from my standard nubian Daphne & she is a FF. I bred her to my mini nubian buck, Fisher. Only 2 babies but they are both GIRLS!! Fisher bred 2 of my girls this year, the 1st one had triplet doelings & now Daphne with twin doelings. That makes this years kids Doelings-6 & Bucklings-3.

Here's Daphne with her twin girls, born today at about 1:30 this afternoon.

Thanks Everyone! We think they are just beautiful & of course these are our first babies with the long ears too. I'll have to get some better pictures when they are up moving around a little better so you can see all the spots & colors on them.

Alice I think you need a different buck! Hahaha! The Buck that gave me all girls this year is the one we were planning on selling too, we may have to re-think that over again first!!

The silver one closest to mama looks like it is going to have some very interesting markings and colors! It is funny (different) having you post baby pics of long ears lol!! They really look great!

Dh really likes the one with the spots & weird colors, I think because she is so different. They are both beautiful & sweet though so of course I love them both.
