And This Little Pig said Farm Day 2

Well it has been an eventful day, we finally got down to kidding. Shaleah who is our Junior Champion All Breed Doe from the Sydney Royal Easter Show 2009.

This is Shaleah's 2nd kidding, we were unable to show her last year, as she came down with a 'Bells Palsy' which is like a stroke, and she lost all function on one side of her face, as well as the sight in that eye. It took her a good three to four months to get over this, and she is now totally back to normal. Sight and all thank goodness.

Anyway she had two big beautiful buck kids. I only photographed the first boy, as the last boy was a long time being born, and we had to go in and 'get' him. So he is not a well boy tonight. Both were breech presentation, so the last boy has a lot of mucus. We actually thought he had been born dead.

Both boys are tucked up nice and warm in our kid room, we hand raise all our kids, so hopefully in the morning I will be able to take photos of a much brighter boy.
