Cal Pernia had her babies this evening

After watching her very closely for two weeks Cal Pernia finally had her babies. I was beginning to wonder if there was a problem I needed to call the Vet about.  She must have gotten under way shortly before five. I was stuck at work and checking my Nest camera for the 20th time today and saw the little darling walking around the stall with her mother, I was at work so I had the volume on my phone turned down and it was a good thing. That little doeling was so loud I thought maybe one of the other kids had broken a leg and was hanging by that limb and in horrible pain. I phoned Bennie and sounded the alarm. He said he was on his way. I got home and ran out to the barn. There was one more baby and one still in the sack looking like it had just been born. I ran in and cleared the airway but it was too late, it was dead. The other little goat, a buck, was doing great but was still wet. So I dried him off with a big fluffy towel. The two little ones appear very healthy. It's sad about losing the little doeling. But, the little family is doing well and we are feeling blessed to have two healthy babies. She expelled the placenta and she drank up her molasses water and babies both suckled their first meals and settled down for a nice nap. Kidding season is over for us till the end of July when Georgie Girl is due to have her brood.
