This morning the Universe shined on us. Just as if she’d read the manual, our beautiful Alana once again had a textbook perfect delivery. And once again, that healthy little cria is a very strong baby boy cria! Yeah, another boy!
Val called us this morning to tell us that Alana was looking oddly uncomfortable, and that we’d probably have a cria today. When Val went back out to check on Alana, already there was 'nose and toes'! Minutes later our little boy cria was here on Earth and very alert. And within 15 minutes of his birth, this strong little boy was standing up and nursing! By the time we arrived, he had walked with his momma out into the back pasture. Oh my, what long legs this teeny creature has! His fleece was still damp in places, and we were having quite a time figuring out what color that soft fleece is. But even though it wasn’t sunny, that fleece was shining. His fleece is shiny, with an almost reddish tone, like a new copper penny...............
Welcome, Copper Moon!
