Meanwhile on the other side of the driveway, Coral had finally started working on her own project where Phil and I soon joined her.
I've never seen a photo of myself delivering kids before. Diana had a great angle for some real action shots!
Coral was the only goat who needed help delivering this year, and I think it was a product of delayed entry. The kid was in the correct position, but I realised that Coral's water must have broken quite a while earlier. The distraction of Sadie's kid meant that by the time Coral finally sat down and pushed, the passage was getting dry and the little guy was stuck. Since he was in the right position, all I had to do was pull those long, hairy legs.
First kid was a cou clair buckling weighing 8.5 lbs. And he had wattles!
Half an hour or so later, a 9 lb. sundgau brother arrived on the scene--also with wattles!!
Coral: Supermom. (I love that busy purple tongue of hers!)
Wattles!!!
The whole family.
