New-bian babies!
They're so cute when they're hours old and sleeping! The little frosty black boy in the middle looks like a donkey right in the face. Adorable. The black and brown ones in the middle are boys and the bigger black and brown ones on either end of the kid pile are girls.

Oh how precious!!!
They are all so adorable! And the little black boy does have a sweet little donkey face! I just want to kiss his little white nose and name him Eeyore. I'm not even big on black goats but I could look at him every day!

Two sets of twins. The bigger set of twins are girls from Prudence, your Carla's daughter. The other set - the inside boys - are out of a daughter of an Ozark Jewels doe.

I don't usually kid until late March, early April, but my buck learned to climb cattle panels. I've been watching Pru every few hours for a month because she gets ginormous when she's pregnant!

Good girl Pru (twin doelings ALWAYS makes me happy... we had so many sets of little girls last year.. doe after doe delivered twin girls...I couldn't believe it.. kept double checking LOL) Carla however had to be different.. she had HUGE, tangled up...chest to chest, arms interlocked bucklings... took a lot of rearranging.. Miz Carla however is WIDE and ROOMY.. I one point I had BOTH of my hands in there getting the guys to LET GO of each other LOL.. both born healthy as could be.. both spotted!!! Carla did fine, she bred back on our first attempt this year.. she is due March 2nd (Bred to a wildly spotted and splashed black & white jr. buck). She is still one of my favorite does to milk (she is about to turn 9)
