I know it feels good to have such good "helpers" and they enjoy each's interaction....Cowboy sure has developed into a really fine guardian....and Beautiful to boot!!.....:)
If the leg heals....ya may have to keep her to see how she develops....the kid that is...I know Maddie taught Cowboy a few things too....:)

Thanks! And, I agree whole-heartedly, lol.

My guess is she's a keeper. Leg is slowly improving. :)

Does it look like a luxating patella? Where the leg bends backwards? We’ve had bunches of kids like that- the quads and quints are usually the worth for it, if if there was a nasty jumbled up mess that took work to be born. After a week or so it seems to work itself out. We had a few that were really bad years ago and we had to stabilize the entire leg. All the goats turned out fine :)

It does get crowded in the belly. The ewe lamb that had the weak pasterns is perfectly normal now and growing like a weed. A member in one of the Facebook groups that I follow posted a picture of a ewe with 6 lambs born a couple of days ago. She has deliver 20 lambs in 4 years
