We drove our newest little guy home at 3 mths, 1500 km with an overnight stop at a hotel. Had him in a crate in the back of the car with lots of hay and a tarp under neath. He was just fine, laid down the whole way .
Pretty cute there now, all curled up next to Mom. Hope she's ok. Did they move to a different stall? Kinda like moving out of Labour & Delivery to a regular room?
He's gorgeous!! I so hope he makes it. Will you put him back with Cinammon when he's a bit stronger? Will she know he is hers? I hope it all works out.
So sorry for this result, and hopefully Cinnamon and the buckling will be fine. What an experience! Any idea as to what caused the deaths of the other two babies? So many folks have been on the edge of their seats watching, and are now sending good thoughts your way.

Lots of folks watching here, isn't it funny how excited we all are? Newbie question here, do goats lie down to give birth, or do they do it standing up?
I brought home a Pygora doe last spring who was bred (unbeknownst to me) so in June she presented me with two adorable doelings. One was very obviously fathered by a Nubian and the other by an ND. The Nubian girl is just gorgeous, she is "blue" with a band of white around her middle, has the...
I didn't do anything with my girls cords till they were quite dried up and hard, then I snipped most of it off, leaving about 1 to 11/2 in as I was afraid they would get them caught in something since by this time (two weeks or so) they were becoming quite active, jumping and playing around...
Gee, my Pygora doe who gave me surprise twins four weeks ago is almost as round as she was before she kidded. She is an eating machine, fights the other goat to get to the feed dish before I even get it down on the floor. Eats all the green stuff she can grab when out free ranging and the hay...
