Well, what a fun start to the day! I went into the barn this morning, doing my usual visual check on everyone before turning my back and starting my milk routine setup, and lo and behold, there was a brand new baby goat! 👶 🐐
I rushed in to the stall to investigate. Now, I knew Peach 🍑 was due to give birth next, but I was expecting it end of next week! I'm going to have to go back and look at my dates again. Haha. To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I can only imagine what I must have sounded like, howling "oh my gosh! A new baby! Oh my gosh, Peachy, you're a new mom! Good job Peachy! You did it all by yourself! Oh my gosh!" over and over again. 😆
Called the kids on the house phone to tell them to rush out to the barn.
Checking the baby over, it looked good, all dried off, obviously born a few hours ago. Peach was tending to her beautifully, which is always a bit of a relief. Sometimes yearling first-time moms can be a bit confused about motherhood in those first few hours. Like, "where did that baby come from and why does it keep following me?" Haha. Anyway, a quick check on Peach, and she looked great too. We found her placenta and I "bumped" her belly just to make sure she didn't have another baby in there.
When the kids arrived in the barn, and we swooned over the baby again, we checked and discovered we had a little doeling!
Thanks to Peach, I got a full night's rest and a beautiful new baby goat to cuddle.
Without further adieu, please welcome Sweet Clementine 🍊 to the farm!
And how about that pink nose? I sure do love a pink nosed goat. 🩷🩷🩷
