There should be a second, and possibly a third soon.

I've just heard that may have been another birth at Hamilton, the seventh in the country and fifth for Hamilton.

Has Kito given birth yet?

 

[nicola08]

has the calf got a name yet? are any of the females pregnant?

 

[Nisha]

Kito (ex Auckland) Is pregnant although I don't know when the calf is due. The father of both calfs is Kruger (ex Auckland)

 

[jay]

Moesha calf is called Kifaru and Kito is due in early 2010.

 

[nicola08]

is only kito pregnant?

 

[jay]

Unles Caballe has become pregnant since August then yes, Keto is the only pregnant at Hamilton at the moment. Moesha gave birth in April.
Keto was born at Auckland, so the birth of her calf will be a second generation. I'm hoping it's a girl.

Has Kito had her calf yet? I think she's due this month.
