What a wise decision. I sure hope they come through with flying colors, healthy kids would be a bonus.

I wish a csection was that cheap here. Ours was considered an emergency though and was $722 for Sephie, my tiny goat that should’ve never been bred. Never should’ve trusted the breeder.

I'm getting in my car to leave work at 5:30 and my phone rings
Maurine said she had a meeting at town hall at 6 and Dee was starting labor
Her friend Jessica is going to.come over
I get home at 6 pm to 2 beautiful doe kids already dried off
The first one came 5 minutes after Maurine left and by the time the first one was out they could already see the next ones feet
Jessica told me that Rachel said to her the 2nd one was coming back feet first and that they needed to pull her
Jessica said " Do we"?
Rachel said yes and then she pulled the kid
Great job Rachel
Haven't weighed them yet but one looks about 3-4 and the other 3-10
Thats my guess

3 lbs 15 oz
Considering they have been nursing for over 2 hours and have full bellies I was close

So that is 5 girls and 4 boys
.I thought we had a break but Eclipse is due now
Her ligs are softening
