Title: photos of my gang

(you may have noticed.. I had a new camera for Christmas, so ....)

Thought I'd post some up to date photos of my little lad,
just jealous that you're all getting kids & we have to wait   ;)   ;D

Aww.....aren't they lovely?

Any idea when Geraldine will kid?  My pygmies kidded in December last year, so they are late this time!!  Two have big bellies, but pygmies often do, so it could just be wind!!  I will hopefully get Primrose and Poppy in kid in the Autumn

def not for a while ... with Max being born August (well, last day in July, but its easier to count up his age!) she didnt come into season til late autumn.

but she's getting a "belly" now...

Its likely she will have twins - hopefully females!! I was very lucky last year when Jasmine had twin girls.  My dad had a Toggenburg  who had twins at every kidding, but all males, then she had triplets, all male,.  He sold her, and she had twin girls!!!!
