Today was day 147 for Cocoa... and she blessed me with two healthy, beautiful kids, a buckling and a doeling. I knew she could go any day so after work I moved her to my lil barn, I watched for a bit, she was acting alittle different but nothing to say.. HEY TODAY IS THE DAY. I went in the house to do cook some supper and wash dishes, I was only inside for about 45 minutes, went out to check on her and do evening chores as I was walking to get feed for the horses... I heard the sweet cries of newborn goats and knew I had missed it! The buckling was almost completely dry, if I had come out a few minutes earlier I might have seen the birth of the doeling, she was still covered in goo. I'm just so thankful everything went great... Cocoa took right to motherhood, shes wonderful with her babies.
