Because Emma is HIS goat, DH got to name the retained doe kid.

He named her Em's Sheila. She doesn't look like a Sheila to me, and I'm terrible at an Aussie accent, so I can't make it sound good LOL

I love Sheila! Tell DH I think it's perfect.

 

[doxiemoxie]

oh, I'm in love!

It's Flicka's turn. Ligs gone, cervix ready...can't feel feet yet so she's gonna drag this one out I guess. I'd like to hope there's 2 this time, but by how big this kid looks as it kicks around in there I think she just has a single...again. Brat!

I hope your birth goes better than the alpaca birth I had this morning. Cria had choanal atresia (blocked nasal passages) and a VERY bad heart murmur (could feel the heart murmur through your hand). Vet had to come out and put her down. I always feel so bad and I had to call the owner who has already had a bad year with crias. Now mama alpaca is laying by her dead cria. I'm hoping she will figure it out and leave and go out in the field with the rest of the girls.

 

[helmstead]

That's awful!

 

[SDGsoap&dairy]

Sorry to hear that Karen.

 

[Pearce Pastures]

That is so sad. I hope your week gets better

Karen...I think you've jinxed me. Dealing with a dystocia now, came in for a few minutes to give the doe and rest and see what she can do on her own before I go all the way in...:/
