Triplets?

Our Boar goat Snap has had two babies tonight, and, as you can see by the sunken hips, is still having contractions. Guess who delivered the first baby? Yep, the woman sitting here on the ground, that woman I love. She pulled him out by his hooves. He still was not breathing, so she swung him from side to side until he yelled, baaa! I was not home, but all the rest of the family got to see the wondrous event.


Update: She does not have another baby; she has a tumor. Colleen bought a feeding tube for the babies, but we may lose Snap.
