For all you kidding thread addicts:

Unfortunately it wasn't the wonderful exciting birth we were all hoping for Brought her to the vet because I couldn't feel any legs & she had been pushing too hard for about 40 minutes with nothing showing. Vet couldn't get a hold of any kid legs either so we had to do the c-section. Triplets were born -2 boys, 1 girl...one had no heartbeat--we worked on it for a long time to no avail...one had a weak heartbeat and didn't make it & I have the black & white buckling alive but he's got a rough 24 hours ahead of him so we'll see if he makes it. We have to tube feed him until he get's some strength & he is wrapped up in a towel on top of some heating pads to keep warm. Not much movement but every once in a while if I pick him up, he will lift his head & cry so their is some hope that he may pull through this. Cinnamon is doing well and will be on antibiotics for a few days to keep out infection.

Is that a baby partially in the hay feeder too...??

hmm....maybe, but maybe just shadows?

awe sorry to hear you lost 2 of the babies. Hope the 3rd one pulls through for both you and Cinnnimon.

Sorry things didn't go as planned. I'm praying this little boy and makes it, and that him and Cinnamon both make a full recovery.

Dear Karen,

Our heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your farm at this time. We are praying for Cinnamon and her b&w buckling, that they regain strength and are able to be reunited soon.

Sincerely,
Chris, Nan, & Jaqui of Livinwright Farm

I'm so sorry. Rooting for the little guy to pull through!

given Karen's post, I am assuming it was just shadows or a mouse...

Oh no!! Sorry...
Hope Cinnamon and the baby are both ok

Thank you for sharing the update and for letting us all peek in on Cinnamon's birth experience. I enjoyed it and learned a lot, even though it wasn't the outcome we all hoped for. Sorry for the loss of the 2 and hoping the remaining one makes it.
I haven't spent so much time watching a goat in my whole life, it was amazing. I love Cinnamon and I haven't ever met her, I hope she makes a full recovery.

Karen,
I am very sorry that it ended up the way it did. At least Cinnamon is still alive and you were able to save one buckling. I hope that he pulls through. Thank you for sharing this on barn cam. I will be keeping them in my thoughts and prayers.
Take Care.
