Cleo just delivered triplet doelings. She had the first two. They are huge. It wasn't easy on her. I gave her a shot of CMPK after the second one. She was tired. A little later she got up and started pushing. I did the belly bounce. I felt one. I went and got all the stuff and went in while my wife held her. It was butt first. I got past the butt and found legs. I got ahold and pulled them around its butt. She pushed real hard. I pulled. Out it came. I thought it was dead. I started freaking my wife out by slinging it in a circle. She asked if I was trying to kill it. After a bit it screamed. Cleo gave me three huge doelings. Thanks for all the teaching. I don't know what would of happened if not for everyone on here.

Good work! How unusual, they all look identical. Just what you'd expect from a Saanen but not from a Nubian!

I'm having trouble telling them apart. I took pictures and until I get them tattooed its anyone's guess. LOL No to mention, one of the other girls had one that could be a sister. She looks just like them.

Great job!
This is where the tyvek collars come in handy. LOL
Or velcro collars made from cattle leg bands or extension cord wranglers.

Just a little dab of nail polish would let you know who is who. From experience it works on human also.
