7 days Cafe, really? You went 7 days overdue... You are lucky they are cute!!
On the 17th, at 8 am I knew Cafe was getting closer, but she had no goo and there were no contractions yet, so I decided to jusr watch on the cameras. Next check at 9 she was at the hay bale eating. Final check was at 10 and I spy kids in the Sr. pen. Dang it!! It was an easy labor and delivery for her I assume as both kids were almost dry when I walked in. Kids are taken care of and Cafe assumes her spot at the end of the milking line like she hadn't just had a year off. She also gave me just under a half a gallon of colostrum. These kids are sired by Oleander and the doe is POLLED!!
Then, this morning (the 18th) 4yo 3F Drama decided it was her turn. Now anyone that knows Drama knows she is on the smaller side (not so much anymore, she hit a growth spurt!!) So it was a complete SHOCK when she delivered a single stunningly massive 12lb BUCK KID!! She made it look easy. And then came the colostrum, and she restocked my stores. Exactly half a gallon for just that single buck kid. Man I can't wait to see what that perfect udder can do this year!!
Finally, by 5pm I knew it was almost go time for the last doe that was due. By 7pm 8yo Bungie kidded with buck/Doe twins who look very much like Doe B's pair. A large Cou Claire buck, and a gorgeous chamoisee doe.
Seems Chronos left his mark. All of his kids have excellent bone, level top lines, and are just stunning!!
