New babies!!!



The babies are here! This one we called Chocolate. She looks like a little Ellie. We are so proud that Ellie had twins this time. We've been feeding her kelp and dolomite and good minerals, along with all the forage she's getting--and it made a difference! She'd only ever had one kid before.


Ethan wanted to show off that the babies were girls. We are very happy to have two more future milkers!


We let Ellie eat her afterbirth so she can get back the good things in it.


Here are the babies getting their colostrum. It is very important that they get colostrum as soon as possible after birth.


Here is how we found them--Chocolate had just been born and was still all wet.


Here is little Chocolate again. She is the friendliest.
