Babies Are Here!!
I am super excited!!
Yesterday we went to Cape Girardeau to take care of business. Then went down to visit the Inlaws and niece/nephew who were visiting for spring break this last week.
When we arrived home something looked different out in the goat pen. So we drove over to find that Snickers had twins by her side! I missed the whole thing by minutes....
I am so happy they are healthy girls......
Now most of ya know their pen is pretty far from the house which means no electricity out there. Last night the temps dropped below 30*. I was worried worried that they would not be warm enough. But in our defense we had shut the little hut up last night to keep them warm as possible. The other day I had put plastic up on the doorway and pulled it back out of the way for the arriving day. It came in useful yesterday. We put fresh hay in so they wouldn't be laying on wet hay all night. Took the gate off the outside pen and leaned it up against the doorway and strapped it up so they would be safe and sound inside their hut. Mtn Man put a piece of wood over the pneumonia hole on the other side where the buck is with him inside the hut so they could stay warm. It all worked! Went out this morning and they, mother and babies, were all huddled up together looking nice and toasty!
The sun is coming out now so hoping it will warm up before I open up her side of things. I have already opened his side up so he could get to water. She has everything she needs inside her pen.....
Ok you want to see pics well here they are.......
Don't have names yet? Will work on that for sure.....
Have a great day!

Good for you, Mary! And healthy to boot. You just can't beat that for a blessing. Are you going to keep the girls and increase your herd? It's a nice way to do it.
