We welcomed a surprise yesterday!! ♥️
Cressie the 9 year old doe had a colorful doeling yesterday. I should have known when she started gathering her great grandkids. She has been known to babysit before she herself kids. She had no trouble having her, other than her own confusion as to why there's only one. She has always had 3 or 4. After Cressie accepted she only had one her body quickly went to work producing milk. This baby is overly mothered and loved 😂 I also believe this doeling has a moon spot.
While we are quite proud of the old mama we are wondering if this is the final baby. I wasn't going to be surprised if she didn't kid this year. On average a ND doe stops kidding between 8 and 10. Some do continue into their teens, but most don't. Either way we are happy for her and proud to have her legacy in the herd❤️
