Clove had two kids this morning, a doeling and bucking. She's a great mother, had them clean and dry and was eating her placenta when I got to the barn after work. I moved the family into the milking parlor side of the barn for a quiet safe buck free zone. When I checked later today, the little boy was shivering and his feet were cold---much colder than his sister's. So I tucked him inside my coat and wore him around while I was doing afternoon barn chores.
Then I fetched a brown sheep's fleece I have, made a fleece nest, and
tucked both babies in. Both fell asleep right away. They look snuggy
warm and I'm only sorry the batteries on my camera died before I got a
picture of them in the fleece. We'll have to make do with pictures from
earlier this morning. I'm glad they accepted the nest, we're expecting ice tonight.
Sooo beautiful. love, Val
