Thank goodness for good friends. Kristin came to my rescue again yesterday. Yoyo was in labor and her single doeling was stuck in the birth canal with just her head and one leg out. I struggled and struggled but couldn't get the poor girl out on my own and thought I was going to lose her. Yoyo was too tired to even push to help. Even though Kristin had been up all night with Aria's kidding (quads!), she stopped what she was doing and drove over to help me. Kristin managed to get the other shoulder loose and get the doeling out. Yoyo and her little doeling are now doing great! Meanwhile, shortly after Kristin left home to help me, her doe Angelina decided it was time to give birth. Now it was Kristin's youngest daughter Tessa to the rescue. She had watched her mom help deliver goats before and knew exactly what to do, even though she had never actually delivered babies by herself before. She did an awesome job and Angelina and her buck/doe twins are doing great too! Yoyo and her not so little doeling are pictured above approximately 24 hours after birthing.
