A Baby Goat is Born
A story for children written by Quaker Anne
This might be a good resource for young home schoolers - pass it on!







Dairy Goats are a very special part of life at Quaker Hill Farm. We
milk our goats and make cheese and yogurt and ice cream and other
delicious milk-based foods. We even make soap out of our goat milk.


Dairy Goats are wonderful farm animals. They are playful, friendly and very nice to have.


One of the breeds of Dairy Goats we have are called Saanens. Saanens
are large white goats who are very gentle and quiet. They originally
came from Switzerland.



A female goat is called a doe and a male goat is called a buck. Baby goats are called kids


Baby goats are born at Quaker Farm in the spring time usually in the
month of May. When a doe has a baby, it is called kidding. Kidding
season is a very busy time because we have over 50 kids born every year.
That's a lot of baby goats!




Angel is a Saanen Doe. She is ready to have her baby.[ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذه الصورة]
As her time to kid approaches, we bring her in from the pasture and
put her safely in the barn. We usually stay with a doe when she kids to
make sure everything is alright. Birth is a normal process and our
help is very seldom needed. When a doe kids, it is very important to be
quiet and not talk or make a lot of noise. The Mama doe needs to
concentrate on giving birth.






At first, we can see the feet of the new baby starting to come out.

The process of giving birth is called labor. It is called labor because
birth is hard work. Birth is a normal part of life and is not something
to be afraid of. God designed the birth process and his design works
very well and should be trusted.


Angel decides to lie down to be able to labor in a different
position. Every time she moves and changes her position, she helps her
baby move through the birth passage more easily.



Now you can almost see the baby kids nose between his little yellowish feet.

After a few pushes, Angel decided to stand up. She needed to push
standing up and when she did, more of the baby's head came through.



Every goat, and every other animal is different. Each is an
individual. Some mothers move around a lot during labor and others
move less. The important thing is to allow a mother the freedom to move
as often as she needs to. This makes her body work best and helps the
baby birth the easiest.

Angel lies back down and continues to labor. Time passes but
steady progress is being made. There is no need to rush anything.
Birth should be a slow, gentle process.

Angel stands up again and continues to labor slowly but surely. She
walks a bit and pushes a little more. Slowly the baby makes progress.
This is a big baby and will take time to push out. But, that is no
reason to fear. Remember, birth works.

Moving with the progress of birth, Angel lies down once more.
She is almost finished with the hard work of labor and soon her baby kid
will be completely born

Finally, Angel pushes the rest of her baby out. It's a little girl and she has made the birth journey safely!




Angel talks to her baby and tells her what a good and brave little girl she is.

We name this little girl Star-Bright because she was born at night when big beautiful stars filled sky.
