The many faces of a goat in labor















I have never seen such expression in a goat while labor as I have with this one, she was so full of expression and also took time to listen as some of the pictures noted. Many of the ones were she curled her lip back were blurred from her moving but a few came out. I ended up having to help pull her buck out he was very large for a first time freshner and had one leg back and not enough room for me to push him back and pull the leg forward like I was able to with her sister. Funny both sisters presented kids the exact same way. Her buck weighed only 8lb 5 ozs which is a decent size but not large like Mariahs weighing in at 11 lbs and weighed 18lbs at 2 weeks. I should ahve weighed him again this weekend but will try to, tomorrow.
