ABOVE ▲ Ariana's cria, white baby boy, 22.2 pounds (gestation 334 days), was born about 9 a.m. yesterday. I finished barn chores at 8:30, and went back out at 9:30. He was standing! Strong and healthy! But - after 5 hours, he still hadn't nursed. We called our vet. Mike came and while we were milking Ariana, Smitty noticed a nose sticking out of Celeste - a nose, no feet.

Thankfully, Mike was there, repositioned the baby, and delivered HER. Note I said HER, our second girl out of the 9 born here. We are estatic! ....and she's beautiful! She weighed 19.7 pounds, gestation - 349 days. Strong, healthy, and was nursing from her mom, Celeste, within a couple of hours. The picture below is Celeste, who by the way was the only other girl born here, and her delightful cria. I think that her color is a medium fawn.
