{Welcome to the World}

Watching Kenny perform c-sections is one of my favorite things to see him do at work.  He called me and told me he was performing an emergency c-section on a goat whose baby was stuck.  He invited us to watch and we quickly made our way to the hospital.

 Prepping the momma goat, who was having a hard time delivering her babies.  She had been pushing for several hours and the baby was stuck.  See the hoof coming out?

 Kenny opened her up and pulled the baby out.  The momma had a total of 3 baby goats.  Unfortunately,  the one who was stuck was not alive when Kenny pulled it out


The other two baby goats were cleaned off and swung in a towel to wake them up.



 Such a cute little face!

 Mya was proud of her daddy and eager to meet the babies!

 While Owen grips his starburst in one hand, with a glove, he touches the soft hoof of the smallest baby.
 The smallest goat weighed 1.8 lbs.  They were so soft and cute!

Taking its first steps!


Momma goat and her two babies are doing well!  We are planning a visit out to the farm where they live to go and visit them and to go horseback riding!
