I've been watching other people's waiting threads, so figured it was time to post my own!
These are my girls:
Pippi, due April 20
She was a yearling FF this last year, and milked about 6 lbs/day at her peak.
This is Pippi with her buckling from last year
Here's Josie, due May 18. I'm 99% sure she is bred, but I'm waiting a few days before I mark her due date on my 2021 calendar, just to make sure she doesn't come into heat again.
She milked a little over 8 lbs/day at her peak as a 2 or 3 year-old FF last year.
Here she is with her twin bucklings from last year. She is such a loving mother. She even helped take care of Pippi's kid.
And last but not least, here's my boy, Finn. He's turning 2 this winter (not 100% sure of his birthday). He's filled out since I took these pictures and put on more muscle...but he's also stinky and rutty right now, so I'm not taking new pictures.
Looking at these pictures, I'm like, 'I should have taken one AFTER I trimmed his hooves...' his pasterns look weird in that top picture. Ah well, hindsight.
Since I had all bucks last year, I'm rooting for a doe year this time around. I'd really love to get a blue roan doe out of Josie.
