I checked moms ligs this morning and they were softer but still there so I wasn't expecting a baby until later today or tomorrow so I went back inside and came back out to find lily walking around with the herd with the placenta hanging out and no baby with her. I finally found he baby covered in leaves by a tree. I got them both into the pen by them selves but mom didnt really want the baby. She kept stomping her feet and jumping at it but finally calmed down and started cleaning it. I held mom and managed to finally managed to get baby to nurse a little. Mom is nervous so I left them alone to bond.

She was born at 12 noon today. I just held mom a few times to make sure baby got the colostrum she needed. Lily has calmed down now and is letting her baby nurse
this is her first baby. Her previous owner said she accidentally got pregnant when she was 6 mos old and attempted to have the baby while she was at work. She said the baby was huge and lily was only able to get the head out and the baby died so this is her first baby to care for but shes doing great now she was just nervous and scared at first.
