Lambkins and Crias

Nothing cuter than lambs and crias, here they are today enjoying the sunshine :)

Jade is 14 months old now, past the cute cria stage but still a sweetie and a favourite.

Jemima is such a funny girl, she loves skitting about, running and pig rooting all over the shop!  LOL!!

Lambs heading out to do some exploring:

Whatchya'll doin'?

We're checking out the yards!!

Nope, not me, not guilty, wasn't even there!!  LOL!!

Llamas, Ody chillaxing:

And Mehitabel, in her Maybelline pose!

Rapunzel and her mum, Red Riding Hood:

Tibbs and Voodoo are very interested in the lambs, although Tibbs is not keen to get as close as Voodoo!

Our youngest cria Wolfgang is thriving and his light bright blue eyes mean you cannot help but look at him!

New Bugs and Cria Updates

First the bad news - sadly we didn't get to choose a name for Medallion's cria because barely a day after she was born, she died, very sad :(

But the good news is that meantime Rapunzel and Voodoo are doing very well :)  Rapunzel is doing quite well with her lead and halter training, had her second 'turn' at a halter this afternoon, but she is very much a mummy's girl!  Here she is with mum Red Riding Hood (post brekkie nap time):

And Vynka caught mid-blink with Voodoo :)

Sevanah has come to stay for a while, to see if we can convince her that motherhood is a good thing, the biggest hurdle will be getting her to submit to a boy to achieve that... she's not best pleased!!  She is a very pretty girl, with a very people friendly disposition and we are pleased to have her company :)

Babies, babies, babies

Nothing makes time disappear like babies happening.  This morning started with Vynka (Lee) delivering - with quite a bit of help - a lovely medium brown female cria that we've named Voodoo Love.  Everyone is keen to meet the new cria, most of Phoebe who cannot wait to have one of her very own!!

She's up and dry now and seems to be doing well.

Next cab off the rank was Medallion, with a very undercooked white female cria that we'll name a little later.  I think she looks to be a blue eyed white, so may be deaf, wait and see.  You wouldn't give much for her now, but she's doing OK.  Medallion is very protective and has covered me in spit as I try to help the cria... she's a bloody ingrate!

Rapunzel is thriving and looking gorgeous... and she knows it!

 Misty is always keen to check out what's going on... what's this camera thingey you have there??

 Tiana Rose was due on Saturday, she would appear to have a transverse lie, hope it straightens up and pops soon, looks huge already!!

Welcome Rapunzel

This morning Red Riding Hood gave birth to a very pretty appaloosa female cria.  We've named her Rapunzel.  She's already up and about and has figured out the milk bar, Ms Hood is a first time mum, and she's done it all by the book so far, so its working out very well :)

Everyone is very keen to meet the newcomer, Aymara with her head through the fence!
