When it goes from 50’s and 60’s to near 90, you gotta help a long haired guy out!

Kidding season is here, and if you have been involved with dairy goats for any length of time, you know, kidding often presents us with difficult situations that we have to deal with.

How do we handle challenging deliveries? What are the best practices for us as breeders? When do we call a mentor or vet?

We called in an expert with thousands of births under her belt to share her wisdom and advice. Join Jon and Danielle as we talk with Dr. Lauren Acton (Acton Lauren) of Tempo Farm in Molalla, Oregon, about all things related to difficult births in dairy goats. Whether this is your first kidding season or your 50th, it's always good to have a refresher because things don’t always go according to plan.

Please understand this is NOT normal or acceptable in any regard. This is not “farming.” This is not “one of those things.” This is barbaric and deserves outrage. I am mostly flabbergasted at the support this person has. Disgusting. What the heck is wrong with people??

The owner of the Farm Show’s popular goat snuggling station is facing felony animal cruelty charges after he performed an at-home C-section on a goat who died.

Mirabel had the first babies since our move. Unfortunately they were born in the back of my car, at 1:00 am, in the vet clinic parking lot because one tried to come out upside down and head down/back. Thank goodness for a knowledgeable goat vet having emergency hours! Mirabel is doing as best as can be expected. She was really a trooper.
Three bucks again!!! (Although one was stillborn, and no it wasn’t the stuck one, he is fine!)
Really hoping our luck turns around for the rest 🍀

We have babies finally!! But it was the stuff of nightmares. Of course there are worse nightmares, but three sets of 🥜 and one coming tail first is never fun. Everyone is safe and sound which is the most important.
