Title: Vanessa has popped
Post by: sokel on April 25, 2013, 08:33:14 pm
Vanessa one of our 100% boer was due yesterday and has kept us on our toes
Today at 5.20pm we checked her and there was no signs of anything happening.
popped down to collect the car from the garage 7 miles away and when we got back she had given birth to twins and even better both girls  :thumbsup:

She does look like mum in the face but mum has quite a few patches on her where as the baby is a full white body

We are already trying to think of a good enough reason not to keep them and if we do keep them a way of working around the Billy problem when they become old enough

I'm sure you'll come up with a good reason.  They must be other Boer males around.  They are very pretty and mum looks very proud of them.

For the moment we are keeping an open mind on them, We are hoping to put some of our 100%s to another billy next time round so that we can keep some ourselves to go back to William so if the right home came along we would probably let these 2 go  :-\
If I keep saying that I am sure I will start to belive myself  :-\ :-\ :-\
