Mommies for spring 2013

 These are my two shetland ewes that I bred to Smiley before he left for his new home this fall.

At the top of the picture is Easter Day and Ebony is the black ewe at the bottom who is definitely showing a baby bump.

Both of these ewes are due in March.

Nigerian does-- Tinkerbelle, the spotted one, and Catalina both bred to Shiloh.

Nigora doe-- Ginger bred to Shiloh.

Nigerian doe-  Blossom currently in the breeding pen with my new buck Alamo.

I'm looking forward to some pretty babies in the spring :) !!!

Last kid to be born!

Ginger, my F1 Nigora, finally had her baby.  She was BIG and I thought she would have at least two but only one was found this morning.  It's a 'he' but very cute.  So he is 1/4 angora and 3/4 nigerian with blue eyes.  My youngest Kella is wanting to keep him, so for now he's a keeper.  Maybe he'll turn out to be a good prospect for breeding in my nigora program if he is bred back to full angora does.  That's a thought.

On the good side, Ginger has a great milk bag on her and I had to actually milk her some today because she looked too full.  I got 10oz easily and did not even milk her out because the baby was still needing to have some to nurse.  Maybe she'll be my milker this year.
