Ivy |
We welcomed Ivy Rose to the world at approximately 5am 2-17-13. She weighs about 65 lbs. and is growing every minute. Her mother Rose, delivered her out behind the barn half way between the field & run-in shed - we brought her up into the barn before day-light - finished drying her off & making her warm - then it was onto getting a fresh bottle of the mother's milk.
Ivy Rose is now four days old - hops around her stall - loves to eat and a good chin scratching. For now it's all about keeping warm and eating - by the end of the week we'll start the process of getting her use to being lead around so she's be easier to handle by the time she weighs over 1200 lbs.
