Last baby goat born yesterday

Megan decided to have her baby while we were gone yesterday. Deb took her daughter to see the baby goats and baby chicks and called me to tell me about the new kid. Luna (our Great Pyr LGD) decided with Gretchen's kid that she needed to protect the kids from their mothers, and that's exactly what she did with Megan's. Deb moved Megan and kid to the small pen away from Luna and the others so they could settle down and get to know each other. It didn't take long before the kid was nursing and everything was fine.

BTW, it's another buckling...

Second baby goat!

Gretchen had her baby yesterday, and I can almost guarantee that Megan will be having her's TODAY. Of course, it's another buckling...hoping that Megan has a doeling! No pics yet, I'll take some tonight. I think that Luna decided to protect the baby from his own mother, so I moved Gretchen and son into the small pen so they could bond and he could figure out how to nurse from that GIGANTIC udder. This is Gretchen's third kid, and her udder is out of control. He did figure it out and seems fine. Updates to follow...
