I know I did what I could, but it's always nice to hear it from someone else :)<br /><br />Mike, Is it worth it? I'll do a post on it today or tomorrow & yammer on....too much to type right here :)<br /><br />MEMasterson, that's one of the reasons I DON'T want to have cows. I have a hard enough time trying to muscle up with the goats, I don't know how I could physically take on cattle.<br />Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-80103576363410551732014-04-03T11:54:17.626-05:002014-04-03T11:54:17.626-05:00Oh this sounds awful!

We had to do things like this on a much larger scale delivering calves out of moms who got themselves mired down in the mud for hours but we saved the calf. Other times delivering calves out of young heifers (which I don't agree with fully need to be at least three yrs old) who were not quite developed and either had to do a C-section or cut them out! It is awful but sometimes as livestock owners we got to do what we got to do.<br />It was fortunate that you were there to be of help no matter the outcome...M.E.

I have a very tiny Nigerian, too, and I was chewing nails watching her balloon out when she was pregnant. We chose a small buck to mate her with, but even then, you never know. You all did the right things. I hope her next kidding season goes a lot better.

The situation and outcome could be called crappy, but your post was honest and helpful and informative to your readers. I can't believe the different birthing scenarios you have found yourself in this year. If we ever get back into goats, I want you nearby. I'm sure Adrian was so, so grateful that you were there to help and support her. <br /><br />Our posts can't be all sunshine and flowers if we want to share our true daily lives. Thanks for your honesty. It helps. If not today, then sometime in the future.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
