Our nubian cross had twins this morning starting at 8:40am. When I went out to check on the rest of the babies her water broke so Terrill came and put her in a stall and we waited for what seemed like forever. After about 20 minutes we decided we would need to pull them since we had to pull her babies last season also. The first kid came out back legs first and then we waited another 20 - 30 minutes and since she was not even contracting we pulled the second and it came out positioned with its front legs out first. Both kids were huge!! They both got up within the first 15 minutes and were nursing within the first hour. One is girl and the other is a boy. We intend on keeping this mom even though we have to pull her babies because she is such a good mom and her babies are alway so big!
The other babies are out in the field running around. I have already found my favorite :) She loves being scratched and held. I am trying my best not to get attached!
