Finally!

Finally, Tulip had her kid last evening! I thought she was due on May18- guess I was wrong. She had a big healthy buck. This will probably be the last time I breed Tulip. She has had kids three times, all large single bucks. These births are hard on her. She should continue to milk for 2-3 years anyway.

Now the only doe left to kid this year is Olivia. Olivia was born here, but now lives with my friend Maryanne's herd. This is Olivia's first kid so we will be watchful with her as well.

"True Sisters"

Read an excellent book last week, "True Sisters" by Sandra Dallas. I've been a fan of Dallas' books for many years, but this book tops the list. Her books are historical fiction, but you can tell she does a tremendous amount of research on the topics.
"True Sisters" is about the last Mormon handcart emigrant journey across the plains. The story is horrific, because so much of it is true. The characters in the book are fiction of course, but they are based in reality.
