Hidi Ho boys and girls out there on the great web...we have had baby goats born...They are healthy, happy, and the mom is also doing great...
Even got to watch them born...Man what a great experence it was. We had a veiwing stand out side of the pen and about nine people watching as the event unfolded before us.
After a few pushes Purina had one baby out, a beautiful baby girl...she licked her and the baby got up and fed within 4 minutes of being born. Than she pushed the other one out and walked away. I waited a few minutes watching the baby still in the sack and waiting to see what she would do...
I gave it four minutes she did nothing so...I went in yelled up to the crowd for a towel and went into the pen. First I removed the sack from around the baby alowing it to get it's first breath of air. I watched the mom to see if she was intrested in going on from there with out me. No such luck...
I started to dry the little boy...he was just cute as a button. He stood and tryed to follow me around..I protested greatly at this point trying to get the moms attention as I am bottle feeding one baby goat in my house already. After the baby goat made noise the mom came over and took over from there....Boy was I happy to see that...
Both babys are doing well...
