Southern (Another Southern) had her little boy on 27th November. "Northie" - while Southern was very good with the birth of her boy and had plenty of milk for him to drink - took a while to actually get the notion of what he was supposed to be doing. So, once again we intervened and fed him until the penny dropped and he started drinking.We had a little problem with him on his first day, where some of his merconium became impacted and we had to call on Erick to come and give him a little enema - after which he was as right as rain.
Northie was a little premmie, even though Southern was over her due by date by about 10 days.
That about wraps it up for the Massie Lodge mares this year - although we are all champing at the bit to find out if Dirty is finally pregnant to Easy Rocking.
Its nice to be able to sleep all night once again!
I have a bit of a feeling about Dirty this time around .... ;-)
