Wow! Cria overload

Two new crias have been born. The first is Angus.  He was born yesterday at about 11am. He was finely covered in membrane but Gerry got it off him and sprayed his navel.

His mum's Alba who has vision problems but she can smell and feel and hear him. He is white and quite big. We didn't coat him because it was a really nice day. He's feeding fine and was pronking round the field for ages.

Next was Almond, who was born today at about 10am. She was quite small and couldn't get up till she was 2-3 hours old. Gerry sprayed her navel and again didn't coat her.

Her mum is Choccie, who is brown, and she's brown too! She's feeding fine, and isn't pronking yet but she will, probably tomorrow.

Also Iona is looking like she'll have her cria tomorrow and the males will be over after our last 2 crias are born.
