Goldenwood 2012 Kidding Total

Our last doe finally kidded today with twin does . I have been waiting for almost 4yrs to finally get another doeling off of this doe and finally I have two does! I am being greedy and retaining both . They are well worth the wait too I must say, pictures will be up soon I promise!

This makes our final kidding total for 2012 at 14 kids out of 6 does, 2 sets of triplets and 4 sets of twins, 5 bucks and 9 does . 3 out of the 14 kids didn't make it. Our first set of triplets we had two stillborns (buck/doe) and then we lost a buckling at a day old. Not too shabby for this kidding season.
We do have 2 Mini LaManchas due one in June and one in July but I don't count them LOL. I am not looking at offspring from either of them and one is my mom's doe. They are just for fun .

Oh any ideas on names for our newest two doelings? One is a black and tan w/a star on her poll and then her sister is light red with belt (maybe more spots?). Their parents are Ober-D'Rainbow MSZ Trinkets and Fir Meadow Val Abraham. I am drawing a blank on names, though Yin and Yang sound good .

In Swahili, the word Nyota means "star" and the word Ukanda means "belt".

Thanks guys . I think I figured out names for the two of them, we are going with Naomi for the red and Ruth for the black doe.

Sorry guys I will try to get pictures up tomorrow or day after tomorrow. I have really long days today and tomorrow so I can't promise anything, it might be tuesday by the time I actually get some and get them up. But they sure are cuties! Naomi is the blond/red doe and she has the biggest darkest eyes! Reminds me of a fawn's eyes or a jersey calf's eyes, so she is a total doll. Her sister Ruth is a pistol and eats like a champ, little guzzler LOL.

Happy Easter everyone! Enjoy some food for me! (I will be stuck at a 9hr shift at work today ).

Justine
