Dairy Farm News -Tail of the missing goat

We have been anxiously waiting the birth of our fall baby goats.  Everything seems ready and we are watching closely all the mothers.  No one seems to be ready to kidd tonight. Everything seems well and we head for bed as it is late.

The next morning to our surprize Risky Business has had triplets during the night.  Two babies did not make it and the 3rd baby a doe is strong and healthly and wants some immediate attention.  We scoop her up immediately and head for the house.  She is strong and within 4 hours has had 2 feedings of mother colostrum. The next day she continues to improve and soon after her mid morning feeding I head for the cheese kitchen. 

Upon returning to the house a few hours later to check on our baby goat she is no where to be found.  We
could not locate her anywhere.  She was not strong enough to go very far - we thought.  She was not crying for food and the next 24 hours we could not find her anywhere.  We thought the worst had happened and continued to look - upstairs where we thought she had to be because she could not possibly go down the stairs- two flights of stairs mind you for a 2 day baby goat that was not very strong.  We did not hear a sound for over 24 hours. Surely she would be crying  for attention, feed me, something! We continued to look upstairs with no avail in finding her. 

Well the next morning after searching for her thinking the worst, I am heading to my computer which is on our lower level - 2 flight of stairs down from the kitchen and low and behold there is our baby goat. She was under my computer desk and had been sleeping there all night not making a sound. Our baby goat saw me started wagging her tail to say Hi!  Good morning it is nice to see you, now can I have my bottle?

We have named her GHOST..........  She is still doing great and is starting her baby goat olympics.
