My 2 y.o. first freshener Lamancha, Trixie, woke me up this morning at 5:30 calling and calling. We are first timers together, so. . . anything can happen! She had bloody show and was having contractions. We hung out with her on and off quite a while while she got up and down and up and down and chewed her cud, and got up and screamed, etc. About 7 hours after it all started, she pushed out a single, healthy DOELING!!! YAY!!! :weee She is now up and nursing and mama is being a good mama without any coaxing - yay! :celebrate

The baby presented with a single hoof, nose (and tongue!) outside the sac. Hubby and I each tried searching for the second leg, but to no avail. The second leg was stretched all the way back straight along her belly. The front hoof was between her back legs! Poor mama; she did great.

Whew! Now I need a nap!

Oh yes - pictures please :)
That is very happy moment!

Did you breed her to LaManchas Buck?
I'm very interested, because I too, have LaManchas and was thinking to breed them with smaller Buck for the first time.
