We only breed for a few babies each year. Last spring (2008) the stud was new and produced no babies. This year March started off with a still born for a first time mom. But in April and May we were blessed with two gorgeous girls.
The spring babies are now 6 months old and huge compared to the fall arrival. Crias grow remarkably fast:

Spring babies as newborns:

Twinkle arrived on 4-13-09, shearing day.
The babies will nurse for at least 6 months. It is always my preference to allow them to wean naturally but, that is not always possible. Sometimes the nursing baby pulls the mother down.
Dragoness arrived on Mother’s day.
Dragoness was only several hours old when this photo was taken.
