Winter toll

There has been a lot of activity here with kids being born. Unfortunately most of the births have been on the coldest days. Sadly we have lost a few of the kids, but we are pleased to have 10 healthy and getting bouncy kids to cheer us up.

It is always interesting to see what color the kids are going to be. We have quite an interesting combination this year, all from the same buck, Walter Becker, a brown and black Alpine.

Rosie is the white Saanen mom in the first pic. Snow is her daughter, the mom in the second pic. Unlike all of the others so far, I love that they both had 2 black kids. I don't know if that goes back to Rosie's mom Lucille, or possibly to previous black and white bucks David Bowie and Johnny Cash. Or maybe color isn't handed down like that...

Snow's sister Rain is still due, and possibly the youngest lady Gracie will bring us one. We are hoping and praying they wait just a bit longer for warmer weather. You know it's a cold winter when temps in the 20°s and 30°s are considered warm.
