2023- Jasmine kidded buck/doe twins easily two days before her due date in May of 2023. Kids were 5.8lbs and 7.4lbs. Jasmine had no issues kidding, despite it being late at night. We did induce her kidding in order to make sure we were able to make some other plans we had in place near the time of her due date. She kidded 24 hours, exactly, after the first lutalyse shot. She showed zero signs of labor during evening feeding, but I went ahead and put her in the kidding stall anyway about 9:30pm and kept a good eye on her with our barn cameras as I finished my evening. I checked the cameras one more time about 10:45pm, before climbing in bed myself, and I couldn’t really see her in the frame but could hear her talking, so I went back to the barn. Jasmine had begun labor and already had the large buckling out and was cleaning him off. The doe kid followed quickly once I arrived in the kidding stall. Both were healthy and vigorous, and Jasmine hasn’t skipped a beat since. The buckling sold as grade at about a month old to a farm near Tulsa, OK. The doeling, Kansas Bluestem AM Tinkerbell, went to Lisa, of Fairly Farms, over in Arkansas. Jasmine lactation was nice and steady. We loved the way her udder took shape and her teats pulled down as her udder matured. Jasmine peaked at just under a gallon of milk a day, on an extremely hot day in an extremly dry summer. Due to our breeding schedule, we cut her 305 day lactation short by about 30 days, and while she easily met her butterfat and volume * milker requirements, she fell short of volume by about 2oo lbs.
