This is Flint, who was our newest addition to the farm until about a hour ago.
He was born on Friday (4/22) at 4:40 pm. We had been watching Ember, his dam during the day via the camera. As the day drew to a close we saw she was thinking about it. I was enroute, but Michelle was closer. She ran home, looked and got things ready. As I came up the driveway. I was taking my time... until Michelle gave me the "GET UP HERE NOW!!!" gesture. I put the petal to the metal, spraying rocks and dust every which way. I jumped from the car and ran up to see two hooves showing. I got down to hold Ember and Michelle proceed to deliver the 9.6 pound buckling.
Here is a picture of him the next day in the baby goat tote.
