Well, we finally got a break!
34 kids have been born for this season so far. 17 bucks and 17 does!
After each does name is {her age (rounded up)/what freshening this is- then her breed}.
It started back in November, when Giselle (6yr/unknown freshenings-Grade Togg) kidded with buck/doe twins out of a Boer buck. She was purchased in June and delivered kids just shy of 150 days later.
The season with our homebred does kicked off in late December, much to my dismay. I did not want kids due before January 10th but the bucks couldn't handle those flagging does any more and took matters into their own hands...err..hooves.
Esther{2 yr/2nd F-Mini Nubian?} kicked it all off on December 20th with doe/buck twins out of Rudy (Nubian).
Liliana {5 yr/5th F-3/4 Nubian, 1/4 LaMancha/Alpine} kidded December 23rd with buck/doe twins out of Rudy.
Twyla {6 yr/ Unk. F-Boer} was our Christmas Day delivery. She delivered a single buckling out of her son, Goliath (Nubian/Boer). I had been fighting for a week to separate that kid away from her and the others!
Utopia {8 yr/ 7th F- 1/2 LaMancha/Alpine, 1/2 Pygmy} delivered buck/doe twins out of William (Boer/Saanen) on December 26th.
A couple hours later Elegance {5 yr/ 3rd F- 3/4 Nubian, 1/4 LaMancha/Alpine} delivered twin doelings out of Rudy (Nubian).
Danielle {8 yr/ 7th F-1/2 LaMancha/Alpine, 1/2 Nubian} delivered our first 2007 kid on 1/2/07. A single buckling out of William (Boer/Saanen). :evil: Very disappointed with that one. Hadn't had a singleton since her first. Always twins or triplets.
Kait {9 yr/ 3rd F (?)- American Nubian} delivered a single doeling out of Rudy (Nubain) on 1/16/07. She had been dry for at least 4 years at her old home. We are blessed to have her doeling.
Sammie {5 yr/ 5th F- 1/2 Nubian, 1/4 LaMancha/Alpine, 1/4 Pygmy} delivered doe/buck twins out of Bo (Boer) a few hours later.
That evening, Kitty {3 yr/3rd F- 1/4 LaMancha/Alpine, 1.4 Pygmy, 1/2 unknown} delivered twin bucks out of either William (Boer/Saanen) or Bo (Boer).
Jacqueline {1 yr/1st F- 3/4 Nubian, 1/4 LaMancha/Alpine} surprised me with *twin* bucklings out of Rudy (Nubian) just shy of her first birthday.
Kaili {3 yr/ 2nd F-Grade Nubian} delivered triplet bucklings! out of Rudy (Nubian) on 1/21/07.
Following suit, May{3 yr/2nd F-Grade Nubian}, Kaili's quad sister, delivered twin doelings out of Rudy (Nubian) later that afternoon.
Fern {2yr/2nd F- 1/2 Kiko?, 1/4 LaMancha/Alpine, 1/4 Saanen} delivered a single buckling out of Bo(Boer) with the freshman class of Olney in attendance on 1/24/07.
Violet {1 yr/1st F- 1/4 Boer, 1/4 Saanen, 1/4 LaMancha/Alpine, 1/4 Pygmy} delivered twin doelings out of her sire William (Boer/Saanen) on one of the coldest nights we had had. The doeling that was just over two pounds died at three days old. We also lost Violet about five days after kidding to what appears to have been milk fever. Little Orphan Annie is still going strong thankfully.
Aurora{3yr/2nd F- 1/2 Saanen, 1/4 Boer, 1/4 LaMancha/Alpine} delivered a 6 pound buck followed by a 9 pound doeling out of Bo (Boer) on 1/27/07.
Persephone {2 yr/2nd F- 1/4 Boer, 1/4 Saanen, 3/8 Nubian, 1/8 LaMancha/Alpine} delivered a single doeling out of Bo(Boer) that evening.
Esmerelda {1 yr/1st F-Grade Nubian} was the reminder of the year. When in doubt, check it out! After laboring for awhile with little progress I finally checked. One front leg back and a very large kid. We had to fight to get the dead doeling out. The second doeling also presented with one front leg back and had to be pulled as well. The second doeling is doing well and Esme has come through it all. They arrived in the very early hours of 1/29/07.
Ghiradelli {1 yr/ 1st F- 3/4 Nubian, 1/8 LaMancha/Alpine, 1/8 Saanen} delivered buck/doe twins out of William (Boer/Saanen) without incident on 1/30/07.
