Welcome "May Flower"

Born on Cinco de Mayo, this latest addition to Karah's dairy herd has been given the name "Maya Flor" or loosely translated May Flower. She is the daughter of "Cover Girl" and the little sister of "Missy Moo!" All are doing well.

Last year when Cover Girl was in labor for the first time in her life (and in the life of Simply Country Farm) there was quite a lot of anxiety and stress going on between Jen, Karah, and a few of their goat-loving friends. But with their help Cover Girl got through it fine, however the babies (twins) had to be bottle-fed. Quite a different picture at Simply Country Farm this year, however. Cover Girl was in labor in the afternoon but hadn't delivered when it was time to call it a night. Jen was in the house and her youngest son came out of the bedroom and said "Mom, I think I heard Cover Girl cry out." Jen, 20 minutes later after finishing up watching a program on TV, ventured out to the barn . . . and lo, and behold, Cover Girl managed to give birth to her baby girl all by herself and is nursing and loving May Flower beautifully.

These pictures were emailed from Jen's phone. May Flower is number six in Karah's herd.

Life is good!
