When Soleille arrived with other 4 does from the northern trip, she was a small baby hiding behind her dam, Laney. Now she is curious, happy and impish girl. Very long body, straight top line & nice roman nose with pendulous ears.
This line is tend to be a slow developer but blossoms beautifully later on around 3rd year. Soleille's FF 2019 one day milk testing looked pretty pathetic but I am sure she will develope beautifully in a couple of years. Her udder shape, texture, fore udder, teats placement, teats size, and orifice size are all wonderful.
2021. she will aim for receiving AR*D at TMGR

2/19 2021
I the morning, Soleille's udder was getting larger and her ligaments are getting looser but not quite the level that we had top be aleart.
By the evening, her udder was much fuller but not quite basketball texture yet. Her ligaments are more gone. She was carrying lower. Since the forecast mentioned that we might have an early morning snow, we decided to bring her to the kidding pen with heaters.
2/20/2021
In the morning, she has tighter udder. Big dimples around her spine. ligaments were gone. She has been crying. eating hay and several of Tums. Her mouth smells sweet. Possibly a little ketosis?
@10:40 am: Yellow-sih goo started coming out. Still eating hay. She is having early contractions in between. She checks the smell on the ground with scratching. Sprayed Canola oil around her udder & tail.
@11:45 am: started up, scratching, smell, frehmen, lay down, cry routine. Almost identical to last year's kidding.
@12:50 pm: Went inside, still not too opened yet. nice 2 fingers but 3 was tight. She is up and down. talking to her babies while sniffing around the ground.
@1:03 pm: Saw first pushes while laying down. I think those were just pressured pushes.
@2:00 pm: Vey quietly concentrating inside of her body pains while standing up.
@2:48pm: started seeing pushing casually more often while laying down.
@ 3:00 pm: still pushing but not coming out so something is not quite right. When inside and its was her bottom tyring ti come out without legs. brought a leg inside of my palm then the other one. Came out from the back legs. A girl (N10) with wattles 5 lb.
@3:30 pm: Even though Soleille was pushing several times, nothing was coming out so I had to go in and check. The baby #2's face was coming out but her legs were tucked in so had to be helped to come out. A buckling (N11) with wattles & Moonspots 8Lb.
@3:45 pm: she tried to push several times and I could see a bubble but could not come out. Again the baby's bottom was the only i could feel. Went in and started to pull out. The baby #3; A doeling (N12) with blue eyes, wattles, and moonspots. 6.5 Lb.
@4pm: the Baby #2 was still having a trouble with breathing. Seems like he swallowed goo into lungs.
@5 pm: Baby #2 was finally able to behave normal and started nursing by himself.
@5:43 pm: Soleille's afterbirth finally came out nicely.

2019 kidding record
Bred to Blackberry HD Phantom (F5): 09/12/2018
Due: 02/09/2019
Kidded: 02/06/2019 @147 days 2 doeslings L3: Phoebe: 1.3 Lb, L4: Callisto: 1.8Lb
Signs:
-In the morning, udder was a little fuller
-Because of the snow storm, we moved her, Lulu (147th days) and Lala(150th days) to the heated kidding pen in the garage.
@4:40 laying down in the corner & half dosing off. Then every now and then, she pushed like wanted to poo.
@4:50 started pushing while standing but not really hard. Bubble came out first and burst. Head came out with one leg.
@5:25 finished with 2 girls. One 1.3 Lb doeling with brown moonspots (L3) & one 1.8 Lb doeling with black (L4).
With both babies, bubble came out first and burst.
-L3 was not alert, weak and cold. It took 40 minutes to warm her and ready to get nursed colostrum from the bottle.
-Soleille's udder & teats are still very small. So it is difficult to nurse from. But L4 was able to nurse without problems.
