Dixie had her litter today. Her poor belly was stretched as far as possible the last several days. I was afraid she was carrying one large baby. In the past she has only had one or two babies per litter. She had 6 babies today! One is a peanut. But the rest are normal size babies. No wonder she was so big. Lane is the sire. He was also the sire of Sabi's babies. Normally, she only has two babies also. She had 5 this time. So I guess Lane is very good at his fathering duties. Now we hope that those little babies look like Lane. Only time will tell. In the meantime, we are very grateful to Melanie and LeAnne for our new herd buck.
