This is a diary of events as we awaited three new births in the Spring of 2001. Also included are pictures and descriptions of the actual births for two of the new cria. We hope this is educational and also helpful as you too await new births. 

"New Babies!!!" diary

   04/11/01- nothing yet. . It has been around 85 degrees here this past week, and if anything will hurry our "soon to be" Moms, this heat should do it. But as yet - Nothing'
Here is a picture of one of them pausing on her struggle up the hill to get to the green grassy pasture. Profitina is DUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!   She has already had three fantastic males - two of whom we have here: Peruvian Profiteer & KRM Peruvian Mocha Ice.

04/15/01-  Easter Sunday..  Rain this morning, and then sort of off and on showers, clear skies.  But a noticeable change in the temperature. 
As Lil & I went out of the driveway around 11:30AM, we saw Profitina up at the top in the shelter. Both of us thought - Oh well guess she got caught all alone in the rain up there. But in the back of both of our minds we sort of knew what was going on.  

We took a little longer than expected getting home, and as we pulled back in the driveway around 2, we saw all of the females gathered at the shelter. 
WE KNEW!!

  ( if you click on a picture it gets larger..)

04/16/01- day after Easter -  here we go again....  I had to travel to Mobile today, and Lil is home alone.  After all of the feeding, etc. is done,  a trip to the store.  Returning home and as Lil turns in the drive way, there is Lumenience standing in the top pasture, and it looks like a couple of feet  are beginning to show. And Lumenience is looking at Lil as if to say - Well hurry up - things are really happening!!!!!
This is Lumenience's first......

The delivery went fine and here is the result- KRM Peruvian Notorious
next morning

04/30/01- We are still in the "wait" mode with our girls. The weather is sooo temperate and comfortable, it seems they are just in the hold condition to make these next babies - Perfect!!  We continue to walk down the hill to check on them at least four/five times a day, or at least every time we can't see where all of the females are.  That is usually our first indicator that something is different. But so far, all is well.

05/03/01- Today's the day. This morning I was sitting in the office working the  computer and Lil came in - and in a very serious voice - " We're having a baby!! "
We gathered up our "new baby kit" and went out to monitor Chiquita, to make sure all went well. She is 14 days over.  
And a new coal black male cria was delivered-

 KRM Stonewall Jackson.

05/31/01- Our Spring cria have been born. They are now growing boys, running out in the pasture each morning with their moms, playing rough house all day, and at end of day they are back in their small barn sound asleep. They are growing strong, learning how to interact, and do male things.
