Baby Goats
The day I have been waiting for all month came today! The baby goats were born today!
I went across the street this morning, earlier than usual, because I had slight suspicion yesterday. So this morning I drove over, and looked in the calf house, where I saw Star's (the mom's) head sticking out. There behind her, I saw two little white things! They were baby goats!Both of them being does. One was struggling to stand up, but it was easy to tell that the other one was not alive. I wasn't too sad over that for some reason. I immediately went back to the barn to call Paul, the owner. He soon came, and we tried to get the kid to nurse. We watched the kid all day, hoping to see her nurse. Once, she almost did, and you would have thought that Paul, his brother and I were watching a football game. We were very disappointed when she didn't do it. Later though, I had the privilege of watching her drink. "The Baby" has no name yet, but I will think of one. Here are some pictures of this little girl.
