Bouncing Baby Boys...

Bouncing baby boys... are everywhere. Yes, My barn is filled with many beautiful, young future herd bucks out of Buddy Holly. Our baby count for this round of litters is currently at 7 baby hotots. We had a few faders, unfortunately.
But on the bright side, we have 2 does in the mix! Including my very favorite baby who was previously named Xavier. I actually thought this one was a buck, hence the name. I'll be re-naming her for sure. Lol! That little doe is beautiful though! She was going to be my keeper either way but I'm so glad I get to add another doe to my herd. She is out of Buddy Holly and Adaliene. I'm so glad that she turned out like I was hoping. I had high expectations for that breeding!
Also, more awesome news, Manda is pregnant with a litter from Gilroy! I've confirmed her pregnancy through palpating, test breeding, and attitude because I've had so many false alarms. Manda is an amazing little sweet heart... until she's pregnant. Whew! Feisty doe! I also bred Katara to Girloy but she isn't far enough along to palpate yet.
Addy is due in 5 days, Manda in 8 days, Mia and May in 12 days, and Katara is due in 18 days! Lol I need more cages to hold all of these nice babies!

Mia's litter of 4 bucks- Diesel is the little sport

Addy is due in 6 days!

Miss Grumpy Manda...

Mia is ready to wean these munchkins. Lol! I usually
take out the box but she thinks she needs a place to hide...
I don't blame her!
