From SM3Pines: Mina, Doe #1

A doe was born!

This is a picture of Wilhemina, Mina for short, born at the SM3Pines farm in Canandaigua. Little thing, isn't she, just a couple of pounds and Stacy tells us she was born yesterday morning. Still a little wobbly on her feet but Stacy said that sorts itself out in a few days.

Love those moonspots, don'tcha? We do too.

Our two other crosses we were following didn't work out this spring - one doe had twin bucks and the other is a yearling that will breed this spring for the fall. And we need at least one other doe at home to keep Mina company.

Stacy is willing to part with another of her 3-yr old does, Chambray, who just isn't quite show quality. A good milker, but not perfect looking. We are going to work it out and bring Chambray home too. Should be right after Bri's b-day in early June! Time to finish our rearranging of Barn Thing, v7.0 and get the fencing up for the close paddocks.

Now, we just have seven more crosses to watch over the next three months :D
