A year for girls up here... 5 (dairy) nannies kidded - 7 girls and one boy. :excited: but not that much curry at our house then next autumn... :(
-
A year for girls here too :thumbsup:three pygmys kidded 5 girls 1 boy.
-
Definitely a year for boys in the south. 10 boys and 5 girls. Lambs the opposite, only one boy and 10 girls! Sold 7 girls so severe shortage as got at least 6 orders for meat. :thinking:
-
Boys here, too!! Two pygmy males now6 weeks old. On Tuesday, Poppy our sanaan x BA had a male and a female, then Wytsend Cherry AN had two males in the afternoon - only one girl so far!! Also, no triplets, last kidding we had all triplets.
-
That's encouraging, Roxy. All I've heard of so far is triplets or even quads. I've told my girl that one is fine with me but I doubt she was listening.
-
Four kids born yesterday - 2 more male angoras but yippee twin boer girls !! Has now doubled our girl numbers !!!
The angora had triplets but the first one was still born - breach - she did well to get it out on her own - other two doing fine.
Yes lots of meat in the autumn me thinks!!
-
we've had all girls so far which I was dreading as I seem to get more attached to them than the boys which is going to make life difficult when it comes to sending them for meat :( :(

10 boys and 9 girls
So far homes found for 5 boys and 5 girls :relief:
