Baby Goats!

Last Thursday I got an email from my boss at the farm saying that one of our pregnant goats Topaz had delivered her baby! I quickly put my breakfast stuff away (meeting this baby goat was more important than eating.) I walked into the barn and there she was, only a few hours old, drinking milk from her mama. She was very cold and shaking because she decided she wanted to enter the world on a northeastern snow storm! I made sure she had her little jacket on, while my boss set up a heat lamp. I held her in my arms to keep her warm and she fell asleep, which was very adorable.

Topaz, the mama goat was doing great! After about 15 minutes passed she tried to push out her placenta, which let us know that there were no more kids for Topaz to deliver. It was an interesting procedure to watch, which resulted in her sniffing her placenta. 

Anyways, two days later our other pregnant goat, Brandy decided she also wanted to deliver and a baby boy was born... stay tuned for my next post to hear about baby Benjamin!
