Snow babies

It looks like this outside:

And it seems nothing says “Lets have a baby!” to our Sapphire like a spring storm. Last year she delivered during the big power outage and we were maneuvering with flashlights and bottled water. This time was pretty uneventful so far. (Agh. Did I actually just tempt fate that way?) She produced a buck and a doe in record time. Both were up and nursing right quick. Moira tells me they are Daisy and Dandelion – this year botany is the theme. : )

Pearl kidded a large single buckling on Friday. I have yet to get the pics of Basil. He is doing very well too. I love springtime babies. : )

  1. Awwwwww….. Congratulations, you guys! (Just a side-thought on kidding-timing: Do you suppose it’s the low pressure systems? Ours invariably kidded in bad weather, too.)

  2. You’d think! Tends to work for me : )
    We have another doe who has been on brink of delivery for several days though. She hasn’t been swayed by low pressure, high pressure, peer pressure….
