My goat had her kids!! She is a pygmy goat, so they are totally tiny! I might upload some better ones tonight or in the next few days (my stepdad sent these to me from his iphone as they’re not at home) so if you want to see those track the tag ‘livys goats’ (Because I’m Livy and these are my goats)!

One boy and one girl! The top is the girl, and the bottom is the boy. He looks brown here, but he’s actually black.
It was a stressful birth; Rose had to have a caesarean (it was split decision and incredibly messy) and initially the boy wasn’t breathing but after 25 minutes of trying he’s now okay. Weak, but alive. Rose hasn’t accepted them yet, and just as she accepted them both, the girl developed breathing problems and we had to take her away. So they’re currently not feeding, but they’re getting enough colostrum (both bought and milked from Rose), and they look relatively strong considering how everything’s gone down.

We still have another one to go (Victoria isn’t due until the 27th!), but fingers crossed that these little guys stay healthy!

I may even ask for name suggestions (feel free to send some in now anyway) if my stepdad says I can name them!
