A Father's Day Cria!

What a surprise. I went to the barn for the second time today to check on the girls and lo and behold, just as I opened the barn doors Marilyn was standing five feet away and had just gone into labor. I ran to the house to tell Tara and to grab my camera and fifty minutes later a female cria was on the ground!

She weighed in at 17 lbs. and is unusually colored, mostly light fawn with white around the neck and top knot.

She was born at 2:30 pm and was up on all fours in about 45 minutes and nursing in just about an hour. So far everything looks normal. We'll check her out a bit more in the morning.

I'll post the names of our two new additions tomorrow and get a few more updated photos as well.

Here are some pictures from today:
