Our first girl!

We have finally had a female cria!  Bubbles delivered Mandoline (Mandy, for short) on Friday, May 25 at 10:15 am.  I didn't have to assist with this birth either but was able to see most of the delivery.  She is a beautiful little thing with berber carpet fiber!! We're very excited about her overall appearance.

We have one more preggie on the farm to deliver still.  Opal is due within the next week.  I think she'll have deliver in the next few days.  She was our little PR gal before she got pregnant but she's been pretty aloof since she's been bred.  Just in the last couple of days though she has come back around for attention.  She's following in the same pattern as Ginger.  Anyone want to take bets on whether I'll be proven right?

Today, Sunday June 3 has been pretty busy for us so far.  We bred our junior herdsire, Zamboni, to Ruby.  He wasn't too interested at first, with this being his first breeding.  We brought Ace in to the pen to show him the way and after that he was fine!  Ruby is a dark brown  and Zamboni is a light rose grey so they will make a really nice cria!  We'll find out next year!
