Eight Nubian kids ... so far

This past weekend was very busy with the arrival of a total of eight Nubian kids.

Ophillia started off the pack with her triplets.
Then Stoney Creek followed suit later that day with her cute twins.
Sunday morning, Tassie decided it was time to bring her buck kid into the world.
Then early Monday morning, Mikki delivered her adorable twin girls.

*whew!*

Pictures of all the babies have been posted on the Our Babies page of our website.

Glory, Ashlee and Surprise should be kidding in the very near future. Given the way Raggedy Anne is shaping up, it looks like her time maybe fast approaching as well.

In the meantime, we are working with Ophillia to fight a case of post-partum mastitis. Two of Ophillia's triplets are still nursing fine, and we are working with the third to graft him onto another doe to reduce the strain while she works thru this episode. Our deepest thanks to our friends at both Keno! Farm and Four Mile Farm for all the helpful advice and experienced insight in helping to manage this situation!
