Still waiting, found a glob of mucus in her stall where she peed. She has the most deformed udder right now.She seems pitiful. She has been laying down and standing in the corner almost with her butt pressed against the wall.
She did appreciate the scratches on her head though.

Gretta decided to kid today also!!!


It hasnt been the most pleasant experience so far. The kid got stuck and I was able to go in and line up the head. With my sons help we were able to pull him out. The cord snapped and we tied off both ends to prevent bleeding although Grettas end bled a lot more.
The buck is doing very well he is up and nursing good.
I do have a concern for him as his mouth seems off line. I am not sure if it is because he was stuck or if it will stay this way.
She hasnt passed the afterbirth but it has been only an hour.I think she is done kidding,not entirely sure. I bounced her but felt nothing.
