Isn't she adorable. Love those contrasting colors. Nothing like a good first birthing to make you want to do it again.

Beautiful. Well done!

Yes that will be easy to remember

She did a very nice job. So fun to see all her instincts kick in. I had read a lot about kid positioning and such and really hoped it would all just fall into place. Now I know first hand what a normal birth should look like.

I did not dip its cord. I was going to but dh is into even less management than I am. Should I still dip it today? I have a mild iodine that indicates it is for dipping.

I believe she can be registered as half Nubian, half alpine, right? I have registered American stock on both sides. I will likely keep her and next season try for AI for my Nubian to be able to sell kids for more.
