You'll be able to hear Alan talking, and roosters crowing in the distance if you listen carefully! *grin*
Oh, and PS: We've named her Cleo. She's so CUTE! Her registered name will be LF Queen Cleopatra (LF stands for Lauhoff Farms)
Wonderful and amazing video of a live birth. It's just so exciting to get to be a part of your farm life through the internet. Okay, so you didn't call her Glory, but Cleo is a great name too! Have a wonderful Mother's Day Anna - look at all the children you have!!! Just like the old woman who lived in a shoe!

Thank you so much for sharing! It's great to get back on the farm - even if it's only vicariously through the internet. ~chris

Oh wow Anna! Thanks so much for sharing! I've never seen an animal give birth. I shared the video with my 4 year old son who thought that was very cool! Congratulations to Queenie, you and Alan!

wow, amazing. I have never seen an animal being born before. You need to do more of the show and tell.

Bummer! I'm unable to view it. When I click on the link all I get is a blank screen. I'm not computer savy enough to figure out what's going on. Thanks though--your blog is great, love your cards & learning about farm life!

That is amazing. What a good mom. I think
I will ask my daughter if the grandkids can
watch this. Thanks for keeping us in touch
with another way of life. Being a city girl I don't get much of an opportunity to
learn a lot about farm animals. Basically
an Old Macdonalds type education. With a
moo-moo here and a moo-moo there.

The video was truly amazing. I have been following everything at the farm with my grandson who is almost 5 and he has been so excited seeing all the animals. When he comes over the first thing he usually wants to do is see the "farm animals" again.
Thank you for sharing all of your awesome pics with everyone.

That was so beautiful! And I just love how Queenie attentively, and lovingly checked on her newborn right after. Congratulations again!!!

New life being brought into the world is always amazing! It is so remarkable how God gave all his creatures that natural instinct to care for their babies.

What a beautiful new baby! Queenie should be proud. The video was a hit with Elliette! Thanks for sharing.
