Taffy's buckling is a great color! He's so very cute! Why are the bucklings the cutest ones?

Daisy had twins today. Two more bucklings.
Daisy is a first freshner and we were a little worried to the point that we had the vet out two weeks ago. She seemed a little bloated with no diet change. And, she wasn't eating. Further observation and we noticed she was not chewing her cud. Vet basically said she had "a lot' of baby in her and it was getting crowded in their and causing her some pain, basically "cholic" in a goat. Vet could hear mulitple heart beats but no way to know if there were more. Gave her some banamine, B12, and some Milk of Magnesia. We were worried that since she wasn't eating she might develop ketosis. But, after a day she returned to normal and we were counting the days because we were afraid she would not make it to term.
She kidded on day 144. Two big boys. Didn't have a chance to weigh, but one has to be 4 lbs and the other over 3
But, we were also worried that she might have some kidding problems. She was bred at 13 months old at 45 lbs and is 18 months old now. But, she comes from a line that has never had any issues.
Ligs were gone last night so we put here in the kidding stall. Well she hollered so much today we let here back out. So, my wife went out to check this afternoon and she had basically plopped them out in the middle of the yard, so no problems kidding.
She has a fantastic udder for a first freshner too. I think she may be the best we have bred here.
Had storms here today, will get some pics tomorrow.

Can't wait to see photos, and at least you got two more doelings. Yay!
I really like Taffy, so I went and looked back at your thread. She didn't have any doelings. Tell her I don't like her anymore.

Coco had a single doeling today. Still had ligs this morning. Wife went to pick up daughter at school at 3:15. When she got home at 4:15 she had plopped one in the yard. Kid has got to be over 5 lbs. She was already walking around like she owned the place

Final count was 5 Does and 10 bucklings.
Surprisingly, we have deposits on 4 bucklings. I had planned on wethering two of those, but somebody wanted them. Of the 6 remaining will likely wether at least 5 of them.

We really like Taffy too. You have a good eye.
We showed her 4 times as a first freshner. Won her age group 3 times and one of those was Reserve Grand Champion (youth show). The 4th show she came in dead last in her age group. Go figure.

Beautiful kids! Love all the colors. We are still waiting on a couple does to kid. Our breeding season was spread out a bit due to a young herdsire and some first time mommas. We are 60%/ 40% (bucklings to doelings) so far this season which is great because one man has put an order for 5+ bucklings as brush clearer for some new property that's completely overgrown. Later he said he will celebrate the cleared land with a big fiesta and BBQ goat is on the menu. LOL!!! I told him I want an invitation.

Well, the couple of does we were waiting on to kid did exactly that, they kidded. 
We had our first Pure Koy Ranch kids born at Calfee Farms. Each first timer had a single buckling. We named the first buckling "Uno" since he was the first ever Pure Koy Ranch Spanish kid to be born on our farm. Pics coming soon!
