Casco kindled this morning right on day 31. She's our oldest doe--this is her 4th year of being bred and her 10th litter. Her smallest litter was 7 and her largest 9 which pleases me since I'm aiming for 8. Was a bit worried when she hadn't pulled any fur by the morning feeding--last year her sister was supposed to have our first litter but even though she was only on her 3rd year and it looked like she'd been bred, no kits and none the next time we tried. The kindle today was from a breeding with a young buck, not quite 6 months when he bred her and she was his first doe. Anyway, just glad to have a first litter in a nest box to help me forget about the snow and frozen ground keeping me from getting started on my outdoor work.
