HANNAH KIDDED!

[SDBoerGoats]

Hannah went into labor this afternoon. I have been watching her like a hawk and was there when the bubble appeared. But it appeared all was not going well. She pushed and pushed and only one tiny foot. I waited for about 30 minutes then tried to help her, as soon as I got the 2 feet coming I knew it was breech. My daughter was here and we tried so hard but couldn't get it out. Then saw the other bubble and they were both coming at the same time. Finally put her in the trailer and ran to the vet. He had some trouble getting the first one out too but it was a big doeling and she was still alive! Then he pullled out a big buckling who was also alive! I was so happy I gave him a big hug!
They are strong and healthy and true to KIKO form they were trying to stand in minutes. They've already eaten 8 ounces colostrum between them and now sleeping in the dog crate. WHEW!

Congratulations!!!! And yes...you know what we are wanting...I might just hold my breath until I see some photos and you don't want me turning blue, now do you?

Come now. We cant be having bonbean turn blue. You'll have to get some pics pretty fast. Just for Bonbean, of course.

Congrats! Sounds scary for a little while but its wonderful that it turned out well.

Heavens no I don't want anyone turning blue! Getting ready to take them to the barn to their new stall and will get pics. They are in a large dog crate but they wanna boogie. Lol. They are strong and eating well. I am so relieved that things went well. I was getting scared cause she was trying and she couldn't push them out. She just looking right in my eyes and bleeting real soft. Was breaking my heart.

Congrats!! I know what you mean about being scared I've had several moments like that. We've had to pull alot of ours because they were so big & also lost a few. Thats when I feel so bad. But glad everything came out good. waiting for pics.
