Marceline made me late for work on Monday. Let me take a moment to express my gratitude for having a job that allows me to call in late due to “Early Morning Goat Birth”.
Marcy hadn’t shown signs of imminent labor so I was surprised to hear the tiny bleats of a new-born goat coming from her stall when I checked the barn before leaving for work. I looked over the door to see two recently delivered kids and a rather confused Marcy who didn’t know quite what to make of the newcomers. Once we got the family moved into private quarters, Marcy settled down and her mothering instincts kicked in just fine. She’s proving to be a very conscientious mother to her twin doelings.
