Birth

The kid count is up to five bucks and one doe. Dora gave birth to male twins Saturday afternoon to the percussion of rain on the metal roof of the barn. Both bucks were healthy--weighing eight and nine pounds--and after being rubbed with towels and blown with a hair drier they were ready to nurse. Nina, the last mama to give birth, produced healthy twin males on Sunday morning.
