Ella came from Carpenter Ranch in MT with other ladies. She was a little shy for a while but warmed up pretty nicely. She is not so vocal or demanding. Very sweet girl. She kidded beautiful twins, Fitz & Geraldine from Marvel (Roman *B) in 2019 as FF. Her udder shape, texture, orifice size, teat size are really To-die-for when we hand milk her. She still has a pocket around her fore udder but I think as she grows deeper, that will be fixed pretty nicely. Her production as FF is going pretty well as well. We are hoping to get a milk star or two for her soon.
Ella placed 5th at MHMM show 2019 Sr. doe.
As a second freshener for a single bucking, Ella earned milk stars from both TMGR & MDGA in 2020. This helped her son, Fitz from FF to have *B as well. Fitz's twin sister, Geraldine earned milk stars both TMGR & MDGA as FF with single buckling in 2021.
2021 She will aim to receive AR*D at TMGR

Due date: 12/27/2020 (145th day)
Kidded: 12/30/2020
12/29/2020
@10am -She had full udder but still no complete ligaments off
@3 pm - Her udder is full. Her ligaments are getting loose and carrying lower. I saw a little contractions. So decided to move her to the kidding pen.
@4:30 pm - After moving her, she ate grains well and ate some hay snd dried leaves. She has lots of small contractions with diluted pupils. I can see her dimples around her tail.
No goo yet. She is extremely friendly.
@5:50 pm - Still no goo. She has a comfort location against the wall whenever she gets contractions. Between the contractions, she is very agitated.
@6:40 pm - She moved her comfort location and less agitated.
@10:30 pm - She has not sat down. I think it's so uncomfortable to lay down for her. Carrying babies very low now. I can even see her dimples through the screen especially around tail.
12/30/2020
Ella stayed standing all night with contractions.
@5:55 am - First time she was laying down under the heat lamp area.
@6:30 am - She has been cooing. Tried to squat and wee but nothing came out. Standing, laying down while cudding. scratching the ground. Active labor should start soon.
@6:35 am - thin clear goo started coming out. dripping.
26:45 am - Went in and checked her cervix and the location of the first baby. Cervix is large enough. I felt the bubble about an inch from the cervix. This might trigger her faster labor.
@7:15 am - Still cooing and very quiet bu strong and painful contractions happening. Her eyes closes during the pain.
@7:55 am - nicer size yellow goo came out but not quite happening. I hear some popping the bubble sound.
@8:47 am - She started gently pushing during the painful contractions while standing and curing up her body like she is about to poo.
@8:52 am - Went in with 4 fingers. Cervix is open. Baby has not come forwards. Might be two almost lined up. he the bubble.
@9:25 am - We decided to go inside to check actual baby's position. It turned out to be breached position so even though there was a bubble already coming out, we had to push back the first baby and stretch back legs to pull the first baby out.
Baby boy #1 (M23)- 7 Lb
9:55 am - We waited for the second baby to be pushed but Ella was way too exhausted so we decided to go in to check the position and fortunately this one was in the normal position. Pulled out with Ella's very weak pushes. The baby had some feces in the sac. Baby boy #2 (M24) - 6.5 Lb
10:05 am - We kept seeing another bubble with some feces. Even though the ultra sound said Ella was carrying twins, with bumping her made us feel she might have another one. We decided to go in instead of waiting and sure enough she had another one in the correct position. The baby was completely covered with feces.
Baby boy #3 (M25) -7.5 Lb.
12:10 pm - Ella finally pushed out huge afterbirth safely.

5/17/ 2019 Ella's udder looked full in the morning
@12:00, she started acting differently
@2:30 She was having contractions standing still. Looking inside of the pen. Very quiet. Udder very full
Standing up and down.
Then started pushing laying down. When we got ready, baby boy's hoof was out, out came second hoof. Then with the huge push, moonspoted boy 5Lb came out.
Almost right after that, she started pushing again and this time,4 Lb doeling came so easily without real extra push or help.
