Whimsey & Windy are Expecting!!!

Whimsey (front) & Windy (back) 12-11

In my previous posts about Whimsey & Windy, I told you that they are sisters born in March of 2011.  In November we tape measured the girls for their weight and they were large enough to breed.  So we went ahead and had both girls go on "dates" with our buck Brady.

Whimsey spent time with Brady first and then Windy spent time with Brady a couple days later.

The girls have now missed 2 heat cycles so we are hoping that they are expecting.  As I wrote in a previous post before the only true way of knowing if they are pregnant is by doing a blood test and sending it off for pregnancy results.  Instead of doing this I am just going to wait.

I did what is called hand breed the girls.  This is where you pay close attention to the doe and when there is evidence of heat you put them in with the buck, stay for a bit to make sure things are going the way they are suppose to and witness the deed.  Some people will take the doe out right away but I left mine in for the morning, about 4 hours.
