2007
We chose to not breed any of our does for this year. Update: September
24, 2007. WHOOPS! I was wrong! We actually decided to try off season breeding
with one doe. We acquired a new buck on May 12th and Zoë was bred
to him sometime between the end of May and beginning of June. I actually
wrote it down, but lost the barn records for those two weeks. UPDATE: Zoë kidded on October 19th, 2007. Her kidding was uneventful and she had one buckling and one doeling.
2008
Dani and Lightning were bred to the same buck, but did not settle.
We are expecting one of The Brooklings, Mocha, to kid on March 12th. She is in the maternity ward, waiting expectantly. Lightning was rebred to our buck, end of December. If she settled this time, we expect kids from her end of May.
Starburst kidded on February 19th. She was due to kid on Friday the 22nd. My son went out to milk and there were two dried off newborn baby bucklings, walking around and nursing. Another uneventful birth!
