We had a new addition to the herd! At 13:20 on 5/12/2011, Kate had her calf. He is 30 minutes old in this photo, but already on his feet. I did get the birth on video, but I'm not sure anyone but myself is interested in watching it.
Here he is at 3 hours old. Continuing our ridiculous naming scheme, he has been saddled with the name Kai. Yes, we've named him Kai Yak. This is my dad's fault. However, his middle name is all Daven...Kai Thulu. If he starts growing tentacles, we know who to blame.
And here he is at 3 days old. He'd just had a lovely adventure where he'd slipped out of the paddock and away from mama to go visit Maria. After Maria herded him around a bit, both he and Kate got agitated, so he tried to get back to her...only to discover he couldn't remember how he got out. I took photos. They shall be posted as I resume my Yak-a-Day posts. Sorry about the extended absence! I hope you enjoy the new little one as much as we are!
