She thought if was cool! She thought seeing Peppermint eat her placenta was cool too. I disagreed lol (gross!) she isn't phased by the whole thing which is awesome. She's a good farm kid! Our friend's son got to watch too. He's on school vacation, figured we'd send him back to school with a real education! Lol

I'm with you on the placenta bit 
It is wonderful when kids can get that kind of education 
Mine witnessed a pig giving birth a few years ago. Did not look terribly impressed about the whole thing, until the next morning, when one of my egg customers, a very prim and proper Scottish born university professor dropped in. DS ran out and told him "Andrew, Andrew! The piglets came out of Pandora's a-s-s!!!" The poor man stopped in his tracks and looked at me with such curious expression on his face, I didn't know if I should laugh or apologise!

I can't wait to start milking!
Everyone is good, kids are bouncing and playing. I've tentatively decided who I'm keeping out of this batch. Waiting for a call back from the vet about disbudding, the boys are ready. Not the girls yet.
Peppermint was acting psycho but she's calmed down a lot.
The does are all separate and fight when we try to put them together. They're gonna have to figure it out though, cause I am running out of space and have 3 goats currently living in outbuildings who need to get back in the barn asap! Lol darn hormonal goats!
