This has just got to be a quick blog tonight as Bert has had her baby! A little - well, 9.5kg - girl. She was born at just over 11 months but still seems a little underdone despite her size. She is a bottle feeder of course and we have got the plasma and colostrum in - bit of a struggle though. So, pictures and more news tomorrow but I must get ready for my first night in the barn.
