Need to get better light, but here's a first glimpse!

Here is the doe! She has some great spots, but not in this pic...

And here is the buck... pics way too dark to do him justice, but he's awesome!

(Just thought you might like to see the FRONT of her! LOL)

Everyone has nursed, umbies dipped, placenta passed and eaten (!) and mom has chowed on grain and drank some water.

What am I forgetting? Oh yes... the story!

I knew we were getting close, so I threw her in the back so I could take a shower. Got out of the shower, and heard her scream... sent the kid out to check and heard "MOM, MOM! THERE'S BABIES!!!!"

Well, technically, there was one baby at the time and I technically didn't have any clothes on and my hair was dripping everywhere... Threw on what I could and ran for the barn...

Lulu did great and I only helped to clear them off a bit. She was a great mom from the start with all the cleaning... One question, though? Why was she like sort of headbutting at the first one while the 2nd one was coming?

Missed the dentist appointment, but now we have BABIES!

:D

More soon!

Thanks for the horse head pic!

They're cute! Congratulations!!


As long as she's accepted both now, don't worry about what she did while in labor. They get a little crazy / nuts / goofy / wierd then.

But...then again...I'm sure *we* did, too....:gig

Some times if they aren't standing quick enough they will nudge them along to stand.

Cuties! The doeling looks like an extremely broken chamoisee, and the buckling looks to be classic buckskin! CONGRATS!!
