Well, it has been a long time since I have posted. We have been very busy on the ranch (as usual). One of our Nubian does, Free Spirit Rosemary (for short we call her "Rosie") had twin boys January 3rd, 2011. It was around 2am that we got up and checked on Rosie, and sure enough, she was pushing! After a little while, she pushed out a HUGE buckling... we did not weigh him, but I'm guessing he was a good 10 lbs. A little while later, she pushed out another buckling who came out back-feet first, which I think was easier since their heads and shoulders were so big! Thankfully, the second kid was not as big as the first. Their sire is our Boer buck, Ace. Rosie's dam is, Laports Mahogany Sage. The first buckling looks more like a boer and second buckling looks more like a Nubian.
Here are a few pictures -
Here is a picture of Rosie the day before she kidded.
These are the first kids feet coming out!
The first buckling . . .
And here is the second buckling.
Here are a couple pictures of the two bucklings, taken Friday. This is the first buckling.
And here is the second buckling.
