Our second cria arrived on the farm at about 9am today. Sadly it is another male, bringing the total count to 3 male crias this year. He was still wet when we found him in the pasture at 9:30. Mom is very protective, but allowed us to handle him enough to complete the basic cria care of taking weight and disinfecting the navel. He weighed in at a healthy 16 lbs.
The new wee guy is brown, lighter than Callibaut, almost the colour of milk chocolate, and is from a different sire. Should we call him Toblerone to continue the chocolate theme?
Time to order some females to help grow the herd. At least the males will provide stock to sell in a year or so.
