Velvet had 3 beautiful kids around 7.30pm last night. Had to get local sheep farmer in as one kid was across the exit.
Two girls and a Boy. ;D

all doing great. need to get some more photos. They are into everything and all over the place :)

Hi, what's/who's dad? BT or BA?
-
o yes more pics pease, they look lovely xx
-
I think it's BT boys that Diane has, so the kids should be BT. They are nice dark one's though- but they look damp in the pic so will probably have dried a little lighter.

Yep only BT's for me. In that photo they were fresh fresh / brand new :)
The mother "velvet" is quite a dark brown and so far all her kidds have been nice and dark.
The larger kid this time, a girl, is a bit lighter. I will get some photos tomorrow.
Last year she had a billy which I have kept, he is a lovely dark colour and well marked :)

Oh I can't wait for mine to kid - five weeks to go. My BT type girl is lying down an awful lot, I think it's definitely twins at least, she's getting quite large. Udder is also starting to come out a bit again...
The GG's are a lot neater, so probably only singles again....

Awww.....just gorgeous. ;D

oh they are so sweet, love there little jackets, they are lovely pictures :wave:

Oh how cute they are. Makes me want my kids to arrive. I was going to call my female girls Silk and Satin last year- and then one of them died 2 hours after being born, so I decided to change the remaining girl to Spring instead, but I still want to use Silk and Satin for a pair of girls sometime. Steel fits in very well too. What are your plans for him?

Steel has been dehorned, castrated and will be unregistered so is destined for a pet or the curry club. It is hard beth but he will have a good life growing up and a quick end if that is how it plays out.

I don't think that's hard at all Diane- far better that than some of the other horrible things than could happen. I now have orders for 3 unregistered boys, two castrated and one for personal breeding, so that is great, and makes it far easier on the little boys. I am now more worried that I won't have enough AN boys! Don't have any bookings for any swiss males so will have to wait and see what happens and how many we get.
