CrabGrassAcres Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 My Senior doe, Glennis had twin doelings today! This makes 7 doelings she has given me. She had triplet bucklings one yr and I milked her thru one yr. 3 sets of twin doelings and one single doeling. She is a fine doe! The babies are Gertrude (black and brown) and Genevieve. They were born in a grassy field, but I moved them to the fenced off portion of the driveway till Glennis passes the afterbirth then she will go into the fenced, grassy back yard with the babies. I will let her keep them two or three days then put them on the bottle along with the rest of this yrs' (yet to be born) kid group. Quote Link to post

CrabGrassAcres Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Thanks! They are moved to the back yard on the nice thick grass with mama. Both on their feet and nursing. All is good. Quote Link to post
Mt_Rider Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 So cute.....and fresh milk! MtRider ...one down, how many to go? Quote Link to post
CrabGrassAcres Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Yes, MILK! Soon anyhow. I have 4 that should kid any time and look like all are carrying at least 2 kids. Two others that may be carrying singles but if they settled, they did it just before the buck left the premises. I'm hoping for a good crop of doelings since these are the last from that wonderful buck as he died suddenly last week at my friend's farm. I'm really sad about that. I was working on a new paddock for him to come home to. Quote Link to post

CrabGrassAcres Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 More pix later. Too tired now and need to eat. Peach had one huge buckling this morning at crack of dawn. Then Meggie had boy/girl twins. Then Mocha had boy/girl twins. All on their feet and nursing. I put Marla and Glennis out this morning, so when they come back to the house I will milk them and start their kids on the bottle. Not truly my favorite job, but those little boogers were sure hard to catch this morning to put in the crate, so it is definitely time to start the bottle. More work up front, but the rest of their lives they will be easier to work with. Quote Link to post
Mt_Rider Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Can we see video of CGA trying to catch gleeful kids? MtRider ....take care of yourself through this kidding season! Quote Link to post
CrabGrassAcres Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Not sure I could even take a selfie doing that! LOL I am so exhausted that I just let the other two moms in the yard. I'll separate them tomorrow and get started with the bottles. I still have evening chores to stagger thru. Quote Link to post
Nichole Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Cute! I can't wait till my doe kids! This will be the first time in several years we've had babies on the farm. Quote Link to post
CrabGrassAcres Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 They are fun and cute, but a lot of work! I got them all on the bottle now. Still need to take some pix, but it has been so cold. Quote Link to post
