Came home... puttered around, made dinner.... about 2 1/2 hours later wander to the barn and maaaaaa, maaaaaa, maaaaaa! Not one, not two but three kids from not one, not two but three does! All babies were within 2 hours old and we MISSED it! We got a pure boer buckling, all brown like his father but a white hoof and a nice white spot on his side. A pure boer doeling with the traditional colouring axcept a few brown spots on her sides and a 25 % sanaan, 25% alpine 50% boer doeling........... they couldn't even really walk yet, we left them to bond and nurse with their mommies (to are FF) hopefully no issues with the nursing........... and we were sitting up in the house and MISSED it! Too dark for pics... get them tomorrow. :barnie :th :weee

:/ Bummer you missed 3 births. I have only ever seen the birth of twins on a show on TV before. Never in real life though...
Anyway
Congratulations on your new babies!!! :bun :woot

Boer buckling... looks just like daddy except he has a white hoof and one white spot

Traditional colouring doeling

25% sanaan, 25% alpine (we believe) and 50% boer

the first two still have a bit of a drunken stagger (both from FF).... but the little mixed breed tried to bounce last night, not very sucessfully but very cute just the same.
