These are real life birth pictures. If you don't want to see EVERYTHING, scroll quickly to the bottom first! Today before my mom when to work she checked on the goats one last time, finding Shenandoah in labor! Half an hour later Shenandoah had given birth to her first baby, a girl (We were hoping for more for how fat she was, but we can't complain about a beautiful and healthy baby girl)! Both my mom and dad got to watch the birth, however my brothers and I were already at school. Below are pictures of the birth and our new baby, Seneca.

Legs first!
Denali comforts Shenandoah by nuzzling.
Next comes the head!
Seneca is not even fully out before Shenandoah starts to clean her off!
Homer, proud father watches as much as he can from his pen.
Mom continues to clean off her new born.
Mother and daughter cuddle near the protection of the platform.
(The previous photos were all taken by my father, the next ones are by me)
Poor Denali the attention is not on her anymore!
Standing up strong now with mom by her side.
Seneca nurses while Shenandoah waits patiently.
Here is a video of mother and daughter. Sorry about the bumpiness Denali insisted she nuzzle my hand while I take the video!
