A surprise in the barn...

This morning, I milked Sally for Andrew, as he was heading up to Harvey early to get a 4-wheeler.  As long as I was outside, I decided to do the rest of the small animal chores and was I ever surprised when I went in the goat barn and found a new kid!  We knew the bucks had been with the does about 5 months ago, but weren't sure if they were bred, as our 2 does haven't really bagged up very much.  I held the mama and fought with the kid for a while to get it to nurse.  When the others got up, I asked them to keep an eye on the kid and when I got home from work this afternoon, the kid was in the house in a laundry basket.  He isn't doing the best right now.  My mom's been tube-feeding him, so hopefully he gets going here soon.  He was trying to stand at supper time.  I guess we'll have to keep an eye on my doe, Opal!
