Give them a few weeks and we can see how they grow, they might end up being more mom's size and would be big enough to hang with boers.Catahoula said:They are going to be someone's awesome pets!! Mmm....very tempting. I really like them.

Luna (momma) was locked with the babies for 24 hours. I am happy to report that both babies have full bellies this morning and NO one got stepped on or trampled that I could see. She actually looked at them when they were nursing and gave them a sniff. I think her momma instincts have finally kicked in! Good grief those tiny babies are so cute when they try to buck around and think they are so big. ADORABLE!

Yay!!!
It is such a relief when moms start being moms!
I have a sheep that was doing the same. First time mom, seemed to have no mothering instincs at all
, but wasn't mean thank goodness! I had to go out every 4-5 hrs to hold the ewe so the little fellas could nurse and supplement with bottles. The ewe seemed to slowely get calmer, and this morning, 10 days after the fact, I went down to the barn and found out the little fellas didn't need the bottles I mixed up for them!!!! They were nursing on there own!!!!! I am sooo glad I didn't give up on the ol' girl!!!

I think Stella is going to have hers within the next 24 hours. 
She has double the udder size this morning than she did yesterday and ligaments are pretty mushy. She is still eating like a pig this morning so maybe this evening she will get serious and think about labor. I have her down as June 19th or 20th as the due date. Will try to get some updated pictures today but am working so It may be difficult.
