RE: First baby of the year.
She is starting to raise her tail every now and again. I believe that is a sign of pain in labor. I hope she delivers safely and that she lets the baby nurse. That's always my biggest fear. An abandoned baby. Even in animals, some are not meant to be parents.
Oh good! Hopefully soon then!
I know what you mean, that is my first concern, getting mama to care for those babies! Our goats are all pretty good mamas, but once in a while, they reject a baby for who knows what reason.
Almost every single time this happens though, the baby doesnt make it anyway. Seems something was wrong with it and the mother knew there was no point in prolonging its death...
Maybe it would be kinder to just let them die, but still, I just have to try...
I would try also. I raised a couple dozen bummer lambs while working the lambing sheds one year. Some do make it. I always hope this is the one. :)
I know what you mean!
Did you see @fishyculture video of the baby born yesterday?
No!! Gonna head over and check it out!
Oh wow!!! Congratulations! ♥
Brought tears to my eyes... You know, no matter how many births we witness, it just never gets old, does it?
