I was really hoping that either May or Kaili might produce our first set of quads this coming January. For awhile, I was fairly confident May would pull it off. I'm not near as confident now, but fairly sure she'll drop some triplets for us. These two are littermate sisters out of a set of quads (three does, one buck). They will be three this year and second fresheners (we purchased them at close to a year old and open). May, the smaller of the two had gone through a bout of Polio and was still recovering when I drove to TN to retrieve them (and three other goats). Anyways, my two quad girls. May is due January 22nd and Kaili is due January 20th.
They both went into labor on January 21st of this year within an hour of one another. Both had other due dates. Both produced twins. Kaili had two girls (the second was born dead) and May one of each.
Here is one of my favorite does when it comes to color. Her attitude leaves a bit to be desired (she kept biting me right after delivery this year...).Anyone want to take a guess at what breed(s) she is? I know her breeding.
She is due the 23rd of this month. She didn't kid for the first time until she turned three. She just never took to the bucks (ran with them 9 months out of each year). She's produced two does and two bucks. Last year's doe kidded as a yearling and this year's doe was one that aborted. We lost this year's doeling to pnuemonia. She was a striking doe as well.
Elegance-4 year old;
And for Tracey -
Here is Kaili's daughter, Esmerelda, from this year. Esmerelda is out of Ivan, one of the two bucks that Tracey cared for and hauled here to Ohio for us. Thanks again, Tracey!
She appears to be carrying twins and is due January 26th to our Boer. I don't expect many twins out of first fresheners yet, so I bred her Boer so the kids would be meat.
Here she is next to her momma;
