Goat Whisperer's & SBC's kidding thread: kidding storm

[Ferguson K]

Just wondering. She looked full term just tiny but it did peak curiosity.

That guinea pig made me say

I didn't post this right away.... I was so saddened (& still am) for several folks who have lost a goat... 2 members on here both lost very special animals this week and on late Sunday evening someone called and said their first doe had just died trying to kid, long story short it sounds like the doe was in labor for a good day and a half Makes me so sad, not how you want to start the week My heart goes out to each one of you guys

Millie kidded on the 12th with a single doeling. She was HUGE! Took some good pulling to get her out. I was trying to use my body to keep Mills up against a wall (she was trying to run away- good thing she was in a stall!). I was using my 1 hand to 'stretch' Mills and my other hand to pull the kid and Southern was using both her hands to pull the kid as well! Poor Millie! The kid was presented correctly, thank goodness! The kid had a lot of fluid in the lungs to I had to swing her a few times but she is doing great now! The baby was a whopin' 9 pounds

Millie was a big baby when she was in early labor, poor girl was trying to lay in my lap. I think she would have tried to kid in my lap if I'd let her

Here is her darling little girl!

Oh, Southern is sore from pulling so hard

Congrats on the successful kidding. So glad everything turned out for the better.

I know that I'm one of the people that lost a goat that you mentioned, and I appreciate what you are saying.

But, it doesn't make it any less of a celebration when a new baby is born on your farm.

I'm really happy about your new baby.
