Weaning part 2

It's been 2 weeks since the separation and all is going well. The cria have become quite docile around us and we are concentrating on handling them and teaching halter tolerance. The next lesson will be learning to lead.

Coco Blanca insists on making her way into the pasture where her mother is. Being the tallest of the cria it is easy for her to get over the fence. She is also the "ring leader" because once she is over the fence, some of the others tend to follow.

Toblerone also likes to get in with his mom, and his humming has quite an urgent quality when we shoo him back to his own pasture.

The moms are enjoying the break from nursing babies and show little interest in them when they do hop the fence.
