Ruth's Foal

Monday, March 2, 2009

Update on Ruth's foal, Ford. Ford continues to drink his mother's milk....from a bottle. He seems so close to nursing from his mother but just can't quite get the hang of it. He's actually funny to watch because he will nudge her udder to get the milk flowing, then lets the milk run into his mouth! We continue to take turns feeding him. Although it would be easier, we hesitate to let him drink from a bucket....however, if he doesn't starting nursing from his mother, he may become a "bucket baby"!
