It's that time of year again! The first kidding date is quickly approaching. I have 6 does kidding this year in March and April.
First up is my herd queen Brownie, bred to Bodhi. She will be 9 years old and on her 8th freshening. She likes to have between 2-4 kids. She's due March 10th. Here she is (right) with her daughter, Primrose. I'm thinking twins or triplets for her.

Next up is Red, bred to Bodhi. She will be 6 and on her 5th freshening. I don't know how many kids she has had with each freshening but last year was her first year kidding with me and she had triplets. I'm thinking she'll have triplets again. She's due March 19th.

Next is Mia. She will be a 1 year old FF. She was bred through the fence so I don't know who she is bred to. Her due date is March 24th. She is very fluffy so there's nothing to take an udder picture of yet. I'm thinking 1-2 for her. Clearly, pregnancy has not impacted her climbing ability.

Shortly after Mia we have Primrose. She is bred to Jake and due March 27th. She will be a 2 year old FF. She's pretty fluffy as well but her teats are starting to poke through. I'm thinking 2 for her.

To be continued

Wrapping up the kidding season are a pair of full sister Nubian does that I bought in the fall. Both will be 3 year old second fresheners and I feel clueless as far as how many kids I think they'll have since they're my first experience with standard doe bred to a smaller buck. First is Bunni, bred to Jake. Her due date is April 4th. She had triplets her FF.

Bekah is wrapping up the season with an April 16th due date. She had quads her FF and is bred to Bodhi.

I couldn't leave out Serenity. She will be 7 years old and is not bred. I decided to milk her through the winter instead of breeding her. Here's a belly picture (left) anyways because despite being open, she still has the largest belly in the barn.

And finally, the boys. I bought both bucks this summer so I'm excited to see their kids. First is Bodhi who will be 4.

Here is Jake who will be a year old end of March. This picture is from a few months ago but I don't have a good recent picture.

Ah!! So exciting! I can’t wait to see all the kiddos!

 

[MellonFriend]

I sure can't wait to see your kids this year out of those two bucks of yours. I bet Bohdi's kids are going to be spectacular. I'm especially excited to see Primrose's kids since her and Murphy were bred the same day! 😃

Good luck with kidding this year! I’m excited to see Bodhi’s youngsters too! 🤩
And Serenty deserves some accolades for keeping you in milk all winter ❤

 

[Dandy Hill Farm]

How exciting!! Can't wait to see what all your girls have! 😍

 

[K.B.]

Fun! Mine won't start until end of March or April too! Beautiful girls and handsome bucks!

 

[Rancho Draco]

Thanks everyone!

 

[MadHouse]

Lovely ladies, and handsome boys!
You will have so many beautiful kids this spring!

 

[Jubillee]

They look fantastic! I really like Bodhi too!

 

[KY Goat Girl]

A not so exciting update. 😕 Bunni and Mia both came back into heat this week. No signs of abortion at all from either of them so they may have just not settled and then hadn't cycled again. Our weather warmed up a lot this week so maybe that prompted their heat cycles. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm not sure. I didn't get Bunni rebred but Mia was bred to Bodhi with a new due date of 7/7. Hopefully I can catch Bunni on the next cycle.

Aww nuts. That's a shame. Well at least you now know for sure who Mia is bred to.

 

[Rancho Draco]

It'll definitely be nice to know since if she has girls they'll be registered. I would have had to DNA test otherwise.
