White Cedar Farm-2013 kids

Good news! Kinda ...

I just went out to check on her. She is down on her knees with her vulva twitching. The last few days, she has been down on her knees more than usual but has always gotten up when I came into the stall. THIS time, she stayed on her knees.

DBF says she's tired of me coming in, not giving her a treat, and poking and prodding at her anyway.

I'll check her again in 30 minutes.

Finally went to be after midnight since nothing was happening. I worke up this morning, looked out the window to the goat pen to see Okie--the pending mama--out in her run. OK, she hasn't given birth yet. I let the dogs out and got ready to go out and milk. When I looked up again ... there was a BABY in the pen with her.

Angel.

She's a second time mama so she was fine unassisted. Although, I have not seen Angel nurse yet, but she is up and walking, bright-eyed and curious. I'll just keep an eye on them. For all I know, she was born at 1 am and nursed frequently, but it's just making me a litle nervous that I haven't seen her nurse yet. Granted, I was doing chores and going back and forth, so I wasn't watching them straight, just glances here and there.

Congratulations!! Goatie looks pretty new...cute little baby...if baby is up and walking and curious and not crying, chances are nursing has happened...but you'll feel better once you actually see that and know for sure

Wow, congrats! Isn't that exciting to see the baby just there! Gets your heart rate up for sure. She looks like my little guy born yesterday.
