It's a Boy!

Sammie gave birth today at 1:45 pm, one day shy of my birthday. It was a male cria weighing in at 17 lbs. and has an interesting color make-up. He is half white and half medium fawn. It is another Wira Cocha son and first pairing of Samantha/Wira Cocha.

Sammie is doing great, doesn't look like she's in any pain and the cria is doing awesome. He was standing in about 10 minutes and nursing within 20 minutes. I dipped the umbilical cord in iodine and got a weight on him and now I'm basically on observation mode. Everything is normal thus far and Sammie has expelled her afterbirth. I will now remove it from the property.

Here are some early photos. No name yet as I leave that to Tara otherwise I'd name him Bob! It will most likely begin with "S" and be Italian in origin.

Now I'm off to the barn.
