Lovin' The Homestead
It happened! Of course, on the coldest night of the year thus far ... negative 10. Oh well.
Hubby had just gotten home and was getting dinner when he heard a hard bleat on the baby monitor that linked to the garage. He ran out, poked his head back in to holler for me ... it's time! I grabbed my camera, threw on some shoes (wish I'd put my boots on!) and sprinted (not easy to do with my leg, which I'd turned again earlier that day on the ice outside). Just in time to see the first being born at 6:43. Brown and white, girl, that my kid her named Spot because she has a spot on her back. By the time she was licked off (about 20-30 minutes), the second came. Girl, pure white with a pink nose. Almost immediately after, the third came, black and brown, boy.
Wow. Mama still looks big enough to have another in there but by 9 p.m. she'd started expelling the afterbirth so we're sure it's just the three.
We're keeping Spot (the first). Probably selling the 2nd, white, girl, Ghost and the 3rd, brown/black, boy.
I'll post more on my blog later.
Hubby's out getting a space heater for the garage. They're using too many calories to stay warm, even at 50 degrees under the heat lamps.
Meanwhile, here's a pic of mama with her three babies:
