TODAY WAS BABY DAY

Well we thought Ghost was going to kid during the night last night, and this morning when we went to the barn we were surprised with a little Billy that weighed in at 11.5 pounds.
This is Ghost's little boy and he is really a healthy one. 
 Needless to say he was not overly impressed when we took him to be weighed and get his navel disinfected.
 He was good enough that we were able to get a good picture.
 We had gone out this evening to check out the new little billy and low and behold Brownie went into labor.
 The little girl with the white face was the first born, Janice helped pull her a little, and Janice and Brownie cleaned her up pretty fast.
 The second little girl came soon after and Brownie is still cleaning it up and stimulating it to nurse.
 We really could not be more blessed as all the kids are healthy and doing well. Both of the little girls weighed in at 7.5 pounds.
 Ghost has already built a strong bond with her little guy.
 Some of the shots of these little ones get so touching.
Before we left the barn, both of the little girls were up on their feet. We are glad we got the girls from Brownie as her feet are great and Ghost has back feet that are not the best and we are planning on keeping these girls for milkers.
