Celestial (black) was mated to our fawn champion Sandstorm with a view to adding more density to her fine fleece, but being a black and fawn combination and only Sandstorms second cria I could only guess on the colour.
Its great the excitement you get during a birth and being on the other end of the phone whilst the Archers experienced their first home birth was fantastic.
At this point Phil was willing Celestial to push harder to get the shoulders out and I was will Jan to hurry up home so she didn't miss it.
Thankfully Jan made it home before Wesley was born, Sandstorms' first cria of the year and his first son. He certainly looks like his daddy did at that age.
By all accounts Celestial is a fantastic first time mum and Wesley is having a great time running round exploring.
Hopefully he wont have too long to wait for a playmate from Lady Godiva.
