Finally, at day 365, Myriah gave birth yesterday afternoon (!!) to a lovely big black male cria. Mated to white last time, Myriah produced a white (female) cria, to black this time, a black (male) cria - that level of colour predictability is only to be applauded!! She was not very impressed with her first cria and even today has no time for her, but she seems to be besotted with this little guy, don't know if the difference is the colour, or the sex, or just time!! Either way he's doing very well thus far :) We've named him Monty.
Only Phoebe left to go, she's been walking around with her tail held out from her body - a sure sign, they say, that she'll 'go' tomorrow - for about a fortnight now!!
Pete comes running in the evening when I call him for his bottle, he is due to be weaned at the weekend... don't think he'll be pleased about that, but at 4 months of age, its time. He and Lambchop can commiserate together while Sherrie has some alone time... must get a couple more ewes!!
