Sky kidded today on day 146 with triplet Does! 🙌🏻
That makes 6 sets of triplets in a row, with one more doe due to kid by Tuesday we'll see if she continues the trend.

V18 - buckskin with roaning, tiny! weighs only 1.5 Lbs (will retain her if she survives)
V19 - buckskin, will be disbudded, 1.96 Lbs

Beretta surprised me this morning with triplets, two days early on day 143 just like Birdie did. This birth was a little more dramatic tho. 😅
Right when I walk in the barn I find the First kid is tiny and already dangerously chilled.
Second kid was born en caul which is where the sac doesn't rupture at birth. Not sure how long he was like that but he wasn't responsive when I found him, I thought for sure he'd drowned but I was able to revive him after swinging tons of fluid out of his airway and doing some CPR.
Third kid was stillborn and couldn't be revived sadly.

But I'm glad we have 1 live doeling and 1 live buckling. And we proved out berettas one little moonspot!

V14 - Doe black with heavy moon spotting. 1.8 Lbs
She is retained.
V15 - Buck, silver buckskin with moonspots. 3.4 Lbs. he will be available.

The stillborn was also a buckling, silver buckskin with moonspots. 3.8 lbs

This is our fifth set of triplets in a row. And that makes 6 kids born in 8 hours. Still two more does to go! 😅

Rin is in the kidding pen today! She's on day 145 and ligaments are gone. Should have some kids on the ground by tonight 😄
Looks like it was worth keeping her and putting in the extra work of changing up her minerals and feed to get her to stay settled, that udder is looking very nice!
maybe she'll give me a pretty blue eyed silver doe to make up for the two years she didn't stay bred 👀

V3 is still up for grabs! He's 6 weeks old so he'd only need a bottle for 2 more weeks. This boy would be a great herd sire with the pedigree and udders behind him. But he can also go as a pet or a wether. ☺️

1️⃣7️⃣5️⃣ without
1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ as a wether

Looks like we'll have a second kidding group!
Three of our younger girls were bred later than the main group since it took more time to get up to breeding size. But I did a pregnancy test for them an all three came back with faint positives!
I also retested Aerith since she wasn't looking pregnant at all, she came back open this time.
But I'm excited for the other 3 girls to kid!
Need to get better photos of them but due dates are in the pictures 😊

Talk about a death nap! 😱 Georgia about gave me a heart attack when I came out of the barn to see her sprawled out on the ground. She's totally fine, aside from be completely over being pregnant. 😂 She's due any day between now and April 11th, we'll see if she continues our streak of having triplets this year 👀
