We witnessed our first birth here at the farm today! We've missed the other two-close enough to see a wet baby-but we missed the first kid born here and the first calf born here. I went out this morning to feed the goats and could tell mama was starting labor. Hadn't noticed anything last night, so I really didn't think it would happen so quickly, but within 30 minutes of seeing her, she had a beautiful baby doe! The video is 3 and a half minutes long. In the early part you can see her snout in the birth sac, but once you've seen that you can jump to about the 2 minute, 15 second mark to see the birth.

She is adorable! Look at that sweet little face...
