Broken Horn broke out of the kidding pen two days ago. I checked her ligs, still there. I left her out since she didn't want to be in there. Thsi morning I noticed her udder had grown a lot in the past few days, she had a little discharge. Her ligs were soft, but still there. Her sisters did this for DAYS! I decided she could go out in the pasture this afternoon and enjoy the warn spell (40 degrees WHO HOO!) and I will put her back in the pen tonight. When I went back up to the barn an hour later to let everyone out into the pasture.... Two little boys. 9# boy 8# boy Mom and kids are doing well. Mom is eating, babies are nursing.
Yes, more BoKis. They were up and eating within 15 minutes. They were bouncing around the pen today. Good, healthy baby boys.
You know I am currently running an experiment on this whole boki vs boer thing. Someone, you know, GAVE me a boki buckling, soon to be wether, to raise with my show prospect boer wethers. It is too soon to have a final opinion but I do have an early prediction, which I will keep to myself...because you shouldn't look a gift horse or boki in the mouth.
I've heard that about the Bokis, up and on their feet much quicker than full boer. They are gorgeous! Congratulations on your two boys.
