Parker had her colt then died a day later from internal bleeding so that left us with a day old foal.
ln the meantime Cookie was due in another month but her foal was born dead 2 days later. l watched her go down and push on the cam and ran out just as the foal was out and still partly in the sack she was still down and turned licking at it's head...she loves her foals has had many. l was really upset and looked in the next stall at my now 2 day old orphan so tiny and lost looking in that big stall all alone. l don't even remember thinking it just flashed through my mind to get Cookies baby away from her and use the afterbirth and liquid soaked straw and soak down the orphan with it. Well he was mighty wet and wearing the afterbirth when l carried him over to his new mom who was just starting to realize her foal wasn't near her. Loosing Parker and then this foal so close together was the last straw after loosing 2 mares and foals earlier on and l told my other half l was done no more l couldn't handle the losses we had this year no more breeding to stressful. The happy ending is Cookie took to the foal like she just had him and the little guy was wanting to nurse and running circles around her and nudging her to get up and when she did he lit into that milk bag and drank for all he was worth. l'm thinking moms milk is better then goats milk
. She lost a Relic foal and adopted a Boogerman grandson. lt's a tiny bit of light in a seemingly dark tunnel this year...
