Excited, excited, excited! I wanted to pop on here before going out again- my first babies to be born on my farm are on their/it's way!!! More details to follow
It is with a very heavy heart that I write this. My Nubian doe, Seba- had such a terrible time with labor- 4 hours of heavy pushing and straining- the little baby was turned with her back to the canal- and no amount of trying to turn her or reposition her would work. My neighbor, ( bless him), came over and tried to turn the baby as well- but she was stuck firm- we ended up having to pull the baby out, and she came out folded in half- barely alive- I rushed her into the house and worked on her for 3 hours while my neighbor stayed with Seba- the baby ended up passing away in my arms- and Seba didn't pass her afterbirth until the baby died- so I am going back to Seba to stay with her for a while to make sure she is ok- thank you everyone for being here to give encouragement!
OMG!! YAY!! Baby on the way!!
