Cynthia is a name that means the moon in (?)greek I believe. If they were born last night, they were also born on Cinco De Mayo, so maybe "Cinco" for the buckling or something in Spanish related to Cinco De Mayo? They're gorgeous! I sure thought she'd have more in there though by the width of her! Either way, CONGRATS! :D

Thanks everyone.....we really thought there would be 3 or 4.....However, I am SUPER happy with just the 2.
Everyone is doing just fine... I will have to do some animal rearranging so I can get them in a different stall, with a yard.
So....on the SS front....I am pretty sure we are finished with the garden planting...at least my hands and back say we are. Here is what we have...

2 - 15 ft rows of beets.
200+ onions
2 - 30 ft rows of green beans
24 Tomato plants
12 peppers
2 - 30 ft rows of Yukon Gold Potatoes


Once the beets are out of the ground ( should be soon) I will be planting hard corn, for the animals. I should be able to get 3 rows @ 15 ft long. Not much...but every little bit will help.

Oh, I am proud grandma! LOL Now I have to decide what to do with them. The little doeling...will be pygmy size, I am pretty sure. She had the waddles under her chin, and is quite a bit smaller than the buckling. Now the Buckling, might be Alpine size. I might just have him banded....and keep him for a pasture mate for his daddy. I will have to see how it goes....in 8 weeks.
