While I like this marking,

This one is fuzzier, and the head makes it cuter.

Been pouring down rain here since last night. Underwater and of course, I have livestock in labor. Spent the day separating and penning up in stalls so at least they can be dry.

My decided to do it the Sub-Zero temperatures Sub-Zero rain so much work sometimes I wonder

Well, apparently Bonnie is still kindling, so no final count yet. I'm up to 11 as of 15 mins ago. Here's the current kits. As you can see, the newest one is still red.

Good morning I think. Too tired to care
Have a blessed day everyone. Time to bottle feed for a second time this morning.

I'm sure I'll see you as I get further along the thread but did you have a good delivery Sunday? My doe that was due Thursday 7th did not deliver until last night and she showed early labor all weekend so I am in the seriously sleep-deprived category. On the good side I have two beautiful doelings.

I would love to have opinions on which of the two to keep since I have a buyer for the other. Their butts and ribbing are about equal. they haven't stretched out yet cuz they were born last night about 10 after 9.

I don't believe anyone can really tell at that age who is "better". You can measure thurl to thurl. The one on the left appears to have the flatter back, but as you said, they aren't stretched out yet.

Oh, they were born Saturday night. Buckling and doeling, the doeling is the one sleeping.

Thank you I have it. I was just kind of asking for impressions I know you don't have them in front of you they're ripping is almost the same so is there but there's a small difference in their heads facing are they save their wide between the nostrils in between the eyes that be wide throughout but I am having trouble nailing down something drastic between them. Usually with kids there's one that's better, but these two are really close.

Very nice, of course the buckling was the one that is loud colored. I thought the one foelng that had more color was a buck at first glance most likely till I looked. Because usually that's the truth.

Boy, everyone must be busy. There's not many left here anymore, but usually there's at least a few comments in a day
