Zavat gives birth

I don't think I can add too much to this video other than life is precious! Even down to the smallest farm animal; to watch a live birth is amazing, emotional, tearful, and a gift from the Father above. What a priviledge we have been given to experience such a miracle! Tears fall even as I write this to know the sanctity of life in a newborn child is threatened every day through abortion and I am moved to my soul with the birth of a baby goat. Why can't we as people see ourselves as the Lord sees us-His precious, loved children. Each and every one.

Initial presentation of the hoof

This video shows the initial presentation of the kid's hoof. Notice how white the hoof is. All baby kids are born with a white covering over their hooves to protect the mama during birth. The coating falls off in a day or two after birth. We are just getting started here and the kids (mine, I mean) and I are very excited but also very nervous about what is coming next. The hardest part is yet to come.
