Ginger and her twins being born

Yesterday I decided to go back to the farm to see the baby goats and when I arrived I could not find Pam. After calling out to her I found her in the barn down on the ground in one of the goat pens helping Ginger try to have her first baby this year. Ginger is a beautiful brown French Alpine with a very nice disposition but today she was in trouble because her first baby was stuck and Pam was having trouble getting the baby out. Pam was pulling on the baby and trying to turn it while using lubrication so I went to help and did the only thing I could think of I held Ginger in my arms and talked to her as see cried and tried to push the baby out while Pam was assisting. After about 20 minutes it was clear Ginger's first baby was no longer alive but the situation was serious the baby needed to come out before Ginger and her other baby got in trouble. This is the first time I saw a goat being born and it was not what I had expected but Pam pulled us all together and was able to get the baby girl out but we had lost her. There was not much time to be sad because within a few moments Ginger had another baby Pam reached down and pulled her up to see she was alive it was another girl who now is named Philomena. Pam handed me Philomena and I sat with her and cleaned the after birth off and dried her til she was clean and ready to start her new life. I took Philomena's twin sister and buried her and gave her the name Gemello which means twin in Italian and I will always remember her because she was my first baby and her sacrifice saved her twin sister Philomena and her mother Ginger. There are many more babies on the way so check back soon and see how all the animals and the City Boy on the Farm are doing.
