Nilla had her babies today.
she seemed like things were juuuust starting yesterday and this morning at 6:30 she started getting with it. the first one, a big buck was hard for her, he was big. the second one, antoher buck, was trying to come nose first. I finally had to push it back in, grab the legs and pull it out. all seemd fine, she looked like she was done, but was still kinda big, but looked like she was cleaning. surprise, I came back out over an hour later, and there was a girl too. nilla is wiped out! she had to work pretty hard.
since I did have to go in so far, do I have to give her penn? she seems ok, so if I can, I'd rather just leave her be. kids all got a good bellyful of colostrum.
Nilla is sort of a peachy color, she is half ober, half saanen, the buck is a pure saanen, from the companeros line. the ober half of nilla is tonka tails and white haven. milks like a dream, so very happy to get a doeling from her, its been reserved.
one more to go!
