Congratulations!!!!

It is seriously so cool to watch goat instincts. The mama immediately starts talking to her babies in a different voice than she uses to talk to me or the adult goats, and the babies almost immediately know how to start nursing, wagging their little tails and everything. The mama cleans off the babies by licking them, which also stimulates them to get up and nurse. Cute AND functional!

Maybe one other mama in early labour?

@sundogplanets Can you record them? I don't think I've ever heard a baby goat.

@sundogplanets

the way that animals "just learn" how to do what they need is indeed amazing. i remember the first time i dealt with a litter of kittens. their eyes were barely open before they'd been shown the litter box, how to feed, they already had starter claws.

@sundogplanets the gross part is listening to them chomping their way through the afterbirth. ‍. Ew.

[sundogplanets@mastodon.social]

@deepmud Yeah, I couldn't handle it today and took it away after she had a few nibbles. It's SO bizarre watching a totally vegetarian animal eating a bloody placenta.

@sundogplanets TOUCHDOWN

[cowman@thecanadian.social]

@sundogplanets 5 of them eh... how many goats do you have? Or figure you'll have after now?

[deepmud@mas.to]

@sundogplanets I used to dairy goats. Also, we had a nice flock of colored sheep. I've assisted in many births, especially since the founding ram was a ramboullet/finn cross.

@sundogplanets GOATS!!!

[sundogplanets@mastodon.social]

Someone requested baby goat noises, so enjoy! It's SO CUTE

Goat babies are just as insistent as human babies! (But a lot more mobile ~3 hours after birth)

I'm starting to look forward to baby goat season, which I was not aware was a thing until I was on the fediverse.
