FINALLY...Patty has her cria!

The wait is finally over. Patty had her cria today and it's a GIRL!!! Check her out. She looks just like her momma but a smidge darker. She was born without assistance while the whole family watched. I thought I was videotaping the birth but somehow it didn't record on my camera. Oh well, maybe next time.
She tips the scales at a whopping 22.2 lbs making her the largest cria we've had here so far.
Patty and her (as yet unnamed) cria are both doing fine and resting after a tough morning. The other crias are just overjoyed at the new arrival. They take turns sniffing the baby and getting spit at by Patty.

She's just beautiful! What a great feeling when you have a female cria and she looks like THAT!
