Birth
Today I witnessed my 6th birth… of a healthy baby goat! There were actually a lot of similarities to a human birth, and it was awesome watching the experienced goat farmer “midwife” reading Lilac’s cues and helping her through labor. It was Lilac’s first birth and she did pretty well, although she started headbutting her new baby soon after she was born, which is definitely different than the typical human response to a newborn.
