Padme Up first???

We are in the home stretch and Padme and Panda are at 142 Days today. Padme is now in the kidding pen as she has the large udder and is also the one that has been nesting, or is it digging to Chine lol. We will watch Panda as well but currently she is showing no signs, no udder at all still. She will be moved to the Kidding pen however if she looks to be closer than Padme. You can see our Kidding Cam on our website www.justkiddingfarms.com and if you see anything going on and I have not updated the camera status then please call me and let me know 806-681-7223

We have some really cool ones and I have been using them and can not get over how wonderful they make my skin feel, and it is great being able to use something that i know does not contain harsh chemicals or preservatives. Here are some pictures of the soaps:

Kidding Just Around The Corner

Well Padme and Panda are due on April 25 so yesterday I brought them into the barn and trimmed their feet, checked bellies and udders and gave lots of love and treats. Padme is impressing me with this very nice udder so early on. I can not wait until she is able to have a good fill. It looks like it will have a nice high and wide attachment, but I will know more as she fills more. Also I was able to feel a lot of movement from those kiddos on Padmes right side. Sure hope she has more than one in there or that will be one crazy active kid.

Panda on the other hand does not have as much of an udder as Padme, she is due the same day but her belly is a lot smaller and her udder is just almost non existant right now. I hope she has more fill the closer to kidding she gets. I am thinking a single for her still, but she is a longer bodied doe so there is more room for those kids to hide. Time will tell with her.

Posha is a week behind the other two girls and wow she has been HUGE from day one. I swear she either has a monster in there or triplets lol. She does have a pretty good udder started, but nothing like Padme, at least not yet. I did not feel any movement but I did not feel for long as I was needing to get on to other chores. I will try next week to feel for movement on her again.

Kids will be starting to hit the ground around here in just a couple of weeks. We are very excited and can't wait to see the little cuties.

Headliner Is Home

Well we finally have Headliner home with us. And he is such a sweetie pie. I am so excited to see his kids we get next year. We did get to see some of his kids at Rancho-Snowfall where we picked him up, and they where very flashy and just beautiful kids. They all had very outgoing and friendly playful dispositions. I think we picked a winner for sure with him.
