Well, today the doe we have been expecting to kid out any day finally kidded out. She had a buck and a doe by Wild Bill, and we are looking forward to seeing how they grow. We bought her doeling from last year also by Wild Bill, so we hope they develop much like her. This doe had an udder like a basketball, so she should she have plenty of milk to keep these kids growing.

We hope next year she'll produce about the same poundage, but instead in the form of twin does!
