First time for my wife

Jamie texted and said Tiki was pushing. I called. She said she's in distress and only one leg is out. I said. You have to push it back in (as I rushed to the truck and flew home) and try to find the head and the other leg. She said. I'm trying. I can't find it. I said. Keep trying. I'm hurrying. Be there as soon as I can.

Upon arrival to my house, Jamie was standing there shaking with a big boy in her hands. She was near tears but I think she felt a sense of accomplishment. She did it all by herself. She had watched me delivering a few. Remember, Jamie, is a city girl and had never been around animals until 2 years ago. She's really catching on.

Tiki started freaking again and was rolling all over the place. I went in and found the girl and got her out. They sure take after momma.

Makes me want to reach out and snuggle them. Adorable - and great job done by your wife. Our goat experience begins late this Spring, if everything falls into place. Can't wait!

He's very dark brown. Dark chocolate colored. Black legs. Black down his back.
