Wow... I'm not very good about keeping this up-to-date. Last fall we decided to downsize to personal consumption because of a few family issues. Unfortunately at that same time we suffered a brutal dog attack and lost our favorite doe, Bambie, and her litter of 6-7 week old kits. It was a devastating blow, and we had trouble with our litters for a little bit after that. We had our first semi-successful litter in Dec, unfortunately Juliet is still a bit shaken (I'm hoping that's all) and she only raised 5/10.
We decided to keep a doe out of that litter (Bambam is the Sire). She's a pretty little broken black, named Leeloo. She will join the breeding program in May or June. We started looking at houses to buy in January. We bred Juliet and Pebbles the end of January and March 2nd they both gave birth to very large litters (Juliet 12, Pebbles 10). Unfortunately Juliet lost 8 in the first week, and only has 4 left. Pebbles has raised 8. We will make 2 does from Juliet, and 1 buck from Pebbles available after weaning. |
I'll get some more updated pics of the kits soon.
