Spice's Kidding
Spice had twin bucklings on the 13th of March around noon. She almost had her kids in the paddock, but I spotted her laying down tucked into the fenceline, and hustled her into the kidding room.

The kids are being raised on a CAE prevention routine just in case, although all of my does were purchased CAE negative.
