Babies today!

My one doe had her babies today. Twins, one of each. The buckling was 9.5 lbs and the doeling 7 lbs. Now we just have to wait for my dd boer to pop.

eta: I'm not having much luck with pics here today so if you want to see pics, click on the blog link.

I'm going to keep the little doeling. Her mom gives me 7 lbs a milking at peak but only milks for 8 months. Not happy about that. Her dad comes from very good milking lines so I'm hoping she'll end up with the volume and a better lactation length. My other doe milks about the same but she'll go on for at least 2 years. However, she generally has boys and is getting up in age, so I have to look elsewhere for replacements. I did get one doe out of her last year though. We'll see how that one does.
