Summer 2024
​
A slightly unexpected make shift operating theatre was the start of our birthing season.
Melody had yet another twisted uterus , having had one in 2022. This time the sunshine roof was successful and little Milly Molly Mandy was born through the prompt and expert hands of Bella Cima from Larkmead. Our regular vet. Milly needed a plasma transfusion (plasma spun from our own boys earlier in the year) the following day as Melody couldn’t feed her cria. A few up and downs and Milly is doing well albeit we are still bottle feeding.
The next two births were text book. Two boys Ragnar and Shadowfax.
Following a spell of very cold weather we had a very very hot day 32 degrees and two girls Nymph and her daughter Iris decided to unpack early. One only 224 days , Noisy Nora, resulting in another plasma transfusion this time in the field with the help of the two lzzys from
Larkmead.
The other Imogen’s Antlers came out like a pocket rocket!
Everything then went pretty much to schedule of unassisted easy births. Total of 10 unpacked 7 girls and 3 boys! For once the ratio of girls was in our favour and hopefully some useful future breeding stock as they all have great genetics.
