Delphine kidded on April 12, 1914, after a gestation period of 154 

 days. This was Delphine 's fi^rst kidding. She dropped twin kids 

 (a buck and a doe), weighing 5.0 and 4.6 pounds, respectively. These 

 kids were left with their dam as Delphine 's teats were so short that 

 it was next to impossible to milk her. She died from pneumonia 

 shortly after kidding.
