Nougat's kids

I'm a little late putting these up since they were born a week ago, but hey, it's been a crazy week (she said, in a massive understatement).

Nougat delivered three, and for the first time, I let a doe keep more than two. Long story - I've had much advice from many people, and a lot of my herd policies were formed that way, but now that I've got Willis, Mr. Livestock, questioning me on why I do things the way I do (and finding that I don't always have an answer that stands up), I decided to give it a shot, and see if a doe could do it. I'm glad I didn't with Blossom - she's such a fluff-head that she took 2 days to figure out that her kids were hers, but Nougat was bathing Baby #1 before she'd even had the other two. Good sign. Anyway, all three are nursing and growing well, and I'm pretty happy! Two bucks and a doe; have gotten Blossom's kids disbudded now, and the two little Nubian doelings are here and already bonding well to me. In the pic below, the left-hand baby is Dandelion (those spots will turn white), and the right-hand one is Elanor (points if you get the LOTR reference). On the whole, it's been a danged fine week.
