Kidding Season

Kidding Season has begun here at DozenAcre, and what an exciting time it has started out being.  First,  you take complete nervousness over goats giving birth without help or heat.  Then add a little excitement and complete fear that you will find something you don't ever want to see in your goat barn.  Wrap this up with 6 excited boys and the energy of Spring.  Now do you see what I am saying?  Images on my little farm are not like those in "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers".  Alas, I have yet to walk around singing "Spring, Spring, Spring."  I guess I am just too nervous.  

Aside from our excited nervousness here, Tilly Mae surprised all of us little people by conquering birth like a pro.  Not only did she look at me like, "what are you doing here", but she gave birth in under an hour and a half with absolutely no audience or intervention whatsoever.  Stubborn little diva that she is she completely amazed me with her go getter attitude and delivered to Amanda the littlest most homely doeling that you ever saw.  Little Mattie is as sweet as can be though and I am so excited to be able to enjoy her for the next few weeks before she goes to her new home.  

Now if only Jersey Rae could handle birth like this, well except maybe letting Amanda and I watch.
