kidding

Kidding started on the 23/08/08 without much trouble finished 9/10/08 . Lost one set of twins, doe had them one freezing and wet night they where very small brought them inside to keep warm but could not save them. Another doe, (she was kidding for the first time) I watched her all day wondering all over the paddock probably looking for the worst place to kid which she found in among a fullen tree. When I found her she had one big doe kid, it was dead I think it may have suffocated as the bag was tight around it nose and mouth  but about 1 hour later she had a very nice buck kid.      49 kids from 33 does 23 doe kids and 26 buck kids averaging 3.5k.  Still not enough rain  and the hill are yellow with capweed flowers.
