Our 2022 kidding season is officially over.
Our last doe to kid Wilma was due on Friday 11/25. After 4 sleepless nights waiting for her to go into labor she finally showed early labor signs Tuesday morning. Tuesday afternoon after a short period of no progress I decided it was time to assist. A baby was coming but she needed some stronger productive pushes. When he made it just about earthside I checked to make sure he was in the correct presentation and decided to help momma out as she was getting tired, 2 big contractions and pulls and we welcomed a HUGE buckling at 5lbs! Momma Wilma was doing a wonderful job cleaning and tending when baby number 2 was coming, again a big baby and a tired momma so I help slightly. A big 4.7lb doeling.
This kidding although not easy was such a sigh of relief, Wilma is doing a beautiful job as a first time mom to live kids ( her first kidding resulted in 2 DOA)
Officially introducing our final kids Elsa and Sven for our 2022 kidding season bringing us to 4 bucklings and 3 doelings.
