Because this birth was a little unusual, I was hoping to get a picture of Bethany and her baby right after the birth. I wanted to see if you could tell me what was unusual about her birth?
Jim had to give her a little help, but once her calf was born, Bethany jumped up right away and started cleaning her baby off. So, in the time it took me to run to the house for my camera, I missed the picture! Instead, here's a word picture of what I saw..."when she was born, both baby and mother were facing the south side of the pen."
This is the first picture I was able to get, about five minutes after birth...
Fifteen minutes later...
...and about an hour later...
Mom and baby are both doing fine. She was born on my Mom's 83rd birthday, so I wonder if I should name her Helen?
Put your guesses as to what was unusual about her birth in the comments, and I'll tell you if you're right in tomorrow night's post!
