This is Georgia’s 3rd freshening. We missed seeing the births by just a few minutes. But, as far as I could tell she did great and had no problems afterwards.
Wander’s sire is Tam, who is is buckskin. Wander’s dam is Willow, who is a solid cream color with random spotting and roaning.
We had a bit of an oopsie in the barnyard. Wander literally broke the wire fencing and ended up on the girl’s side. So this was an unplanned pairing.
Georgia’s dam is also Willow. I am not sure about the color and pattern of Georgia’s sire. Georgia is black with random spotting, roaning, and frosting.
Georgia had one buck and two does. These babies look nothing like her last two births, which had Tam for the daddy. All three of these cuties are primarily black with tons of roaning. Last year’s kids had very little roaning.
This is 7 total babies for Georgia. Four boys & three girls. All healthy and spunky.

Science is Fun & Genetics are Fascinating!
Please keep in mind this information is primarily for me. I’m posting it publicly in case others are interested. However, I don’t claim to know all the things. This is my method for keeping records of the genetics because I find it fascinating and I’m trying to educate myself.
