Well, it's busy here on the farm right now. The last babies you learned about were Wauwatosa's on 2/9, one doeling, one buckling.
On 2/15 our dear Tulip gave us 4 babies! 3 bucklings, 1 doeling.
Today (well, yesterday by this time), Watsonia gave me 2 doelings. Her gorgeous babies are healthy and happy.
We are taking care of one of Tulip's boys that is having problems maintaining his temperature. There are 2 other small ones that we're keeping our eyes on.
It's a good thing we're watching. Posie decided to kid, by herself sometime between our 9pm check and 11:50pm when we went out for our check. If you're not up for reading sad news, stop now.
When we found them, Posie was just standing there, our two sheep were helping clean off 2 little bucklings. Unfortunately, from what we can surmise there was a doeling born first. Still in her amniotic sack, she was cold and dead when we found her. What a beauty she was.
Now I'm sad and tired, and must get some rest so I can help the other mommas tomorrow. I'm so glad Watsonia gave me something to be joyous about today!
