Waiting is over for Eunice Unihorn

You may recall the post including a photo of Eunice Unihorn a couple of days ago. The poor dear looked ready to explode..and today was her day.
This afternoon Eunice delivered a set of very healthy twin does! Both have a light head and cape like she does and one has a red spot on it's back. Our daughter, Melissa, was very happy about this and plans to keep them as breeding stock for next season. Pics coming soon, they're very cute!

2 More Does

What a day, Baco has been in labor all day long. Not hard labor, just very restless with much nesting and licking. Baco and Harper (a.k.a. Nougat) were given to me by my friend Cindi. Both had been bred to a nice Lesniak Hill buck in October. Harper appeared pregnant, but Baco really didn't.

Surprise! She had twin does hidden in there. Baco is a very deep bodied goat, I'll have to remember for future freshenings that if she looks really round then there must be 4 in there!

Anyhow, twin does are a good way to end the day. Both are chamoisee with black trim, one has white front legs. We're calling them Buena and Bonita.
