This is a repeat of last year's breeding which, unfortunately, ended tragically when all three of Aine's kids were stillborn.  Neither we nor the vet nor the NH state veterinary lab could determine what went wrong and Aine was heartbroken as were we.  In the end Aine wanted to be a mom so badly that she co-parented her dam's kids who were born just a week after Aine lost hers.  Maris, her dam, seemed happy to share nursing duties and it definitely went a long way in helping Aine recover from her loss.  We are hopeful that this year kidding will go smoothly.  Aine is a beautiful example of a meaty, large boned Kinder with a beautiful easy to milk udder.  We'd like to see this pairing add some bulk through the shoulders, although Aine is already an improvement over her dam.
