Yesterday (4/21/2010) about 12:30pm the kids started being born! There were three of them. Two males and one female. The goats are kept between two private schools in a rural area. It just so happened to be the lunch recess. So the children were able to come a watch the goat giving birth. There were 25 to 30 children and their teachers are gathered around the outside of the fence. Once the kids were cleaned up, the teachers and students were invited in the goat pen, they sat down and played "pass the baby" with the newborn kids. It was a very nice time.

I didn't get many photos. My job was to keep Miss Elizabeth (age 2)from getting under foot.

Here is Miss Elizabeth with the first born male. King Arthur.

If you look closely you can see a set of baby legs under the knee of the lady sitting in the chair.
Here the kids are getting "standing" lessons.
