The Spring 2010 Kids are sold out.
These kids are sired by KTM Fully Loaded and CONI Doc. The first set of twins arrived the evening of Apr. 4, Easter Sunday. We had our first-ever set of quadruplets a couple of days later, and lots of triplets, finishing up with a very tardy set of twins on May 17. The first 120 kids were born by Apr.18, so we had a VERY busy two weeks!
FINAL SPRING KID COUNT: 61 does kidded, 130 kids

She was also the first doe kid to sell this year.
Z 6, a buck kid, also from Doc, at about 30 minutes old. He's so wide in the shoulders that he had to be pulled, but it didn't slow him down!
See him at in the show ring on the Show Time! page
Amazing what a difference a few weeks makes!
Look way up in the tree below.
Where are we going? I don't know, but we're getting there really fast!
