Probably due to the lateness of shearing this year, and the stress...Daughter's shouts of 'Mum....there's another cria!!!' (29th Dec), didn't surprise me. It was Ambrosia's cria (Eclipse - sire) - a beautiful medium brown little girl with curls!!
Ambrosia is an excellent Mum, and had bonded with her gorgeous baby who was up and walking around with no problems. I was a bit sad that we had actually missed the birth, but very glad that it had all gone well.
A quick check of Ambrosia and she was all good, the placenta had been delivered and was intact, and the little cria was already getting a taste of milk. We felt very lucky to have received with minimum effort...Macquarie Springs Cocoa (what a cutie!)
What a little beauty!
ReplyDeleteShe is indeed a cutie. Fab colour!
