<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Unfortunately, not all labor and delivery's have as happy an ending as <a href="http://homemaidexpressions.blogspot.com/2013/02/nigerian-dwarf-triplets.html">Ellen's.</a> All week I kept checking on <a href="http://homemaidexpressions.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2012-09-28T10:05:00-04:00&max-results=3">Betsy, my other Nigerian Dwarf,</a> several times daily expecting her to go into labor anytime.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq78rgAK9Y5Yh51rVdwHGOy4eqvi-bPwdyeWcQtMEnjDxUgMY5zfJ6-23jdudT7gnzy7m9BXGKXf3n49TuDBMuq4Wft5ctvSf0dmCEV1Bx_6xa42uETIVwXedOrDX_73Y7W7SEF8id5zxC/s1600/2013+kids+038.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq78rgAK9Y5Yh51rVdwHGOy4eqvi-bPwdyeWcQtMEnjDxUgMY5zfJ6-23jdudT7gnzy7m9BXGKXf3n49TuDBMuq4Wft5ctvSf0dmCEV1Bx_6xa42uETIVwXedOrDX_73Y7W7SEF8id5zxC/s400/2013+kids+038.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Finally, Thursday afternoon the labor began.....and continued.......Finally a head appeared but no feet. Dad tried to reposition the kids to pull them but was unsuccessful. We finally gave up, called the vet and were soon on our way to his office for what would probably end up being an emergency c-section.<br />
<br />
When we arrived, Dr. Hess examined Betsy and found she had a torn uterus. He could do a c-section, perhaps save the babies and do his best to mend the tear. It seemed like the best option as the other was to put Betsy to sleep and lose both mama and all the babies.<br />
<br />
Did I want to watch this process?! I certainly did but then again, did I really? Yes, I did!<br />
<br />
The first step was to give her a shot of anesthesia in the juggler vein. Before long she started getting drowsy. They laid her on her side and began shaving the area where they would make the incision. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC175G7pOzc4-qgapVX4l7JW55EhWkqo3odirr22Ff7z1P7jlCF6AwS6hhdX6cL_chaK0OCtLfO-Y-dDCMTp0L6G6eqnb3X9AOslr0iIVpUsvmYzPa8dUUhf_fYG-6-PIf6PpENZhg-TDU/s1600/photo7.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC175G7pOzc4-qgapVX4l7JW55EhWkqo3odirr22Ff7z1P7jlCF6AwS6hhdX6cL_chaK0OCtLfO-Y-dDCMTp0L6G6eqnb3X9AOslr0iIVpUsvmYzPa8dUUhf_fYG-6-PIf6PpENZhg-TDU/s400/photo7.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
Next they applied disinfectant to the area. <span style="font-size: small;"> </span> Then Dr. Hess administered a local anesthetic.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN-OCu4Hkgk7cfbtaKY6Z81VNxFB4f3ESvuJrEkJXuxzIrszlUHCwh7lytdHJGMyoXMqCZvKCFQWHg8JYkZwj6Tw7A_0ifYNbzxXM9h79mSdJyfCpeVzwZ2zGfOJ1ShTWIpnsJRLQgCYmt/s1600/photo6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN-OCu4Hkgk7cfbtaKY6Z81VNxFB4f3ESvuJrEkJXuxzIrszlUHCwh7lytdHJGMyoXMqCZvKCFQWHg8JYkZwj6Tw7A_0ifYNbzxXM9h79mSdJyfCpeVzwZ2zGfOJ1ShTWIpnsJRLQgCYmt/s400/photo6.JPG" width="298" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJZT0yApSnPJPQ1bsrsbPXgM3u6ZlozLNzl_a7l3VVnRaZruaJ4cbumwIilNifowLRDndoW4xLC5fR-6rhLJLDfOBcsb_YxJgrKSedrlfGHv-KaQNtey4BAYqWAzJTqY43xqDsxlc8DRtF/s1600/photo3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJZT0yApSnPJPQ1bsrsbPXgM3u6ZlozLNzl_a7l3VVnRaZruaJ4cbumwIilNifowLRDndoW4xLC5fR-6rhLJLDfOBcsb_YxJgrKSedrlfGHv-KaQNtey4BAYqWAzJTqY43xqDsxlc8DRtF/s400/photo3.JPG" width="298" /></a><br />
<br />
I realized later that I did not get any pictures of the actual surgery. =( I guess I was too engrossed in the process! It was even more interesting than I imagined! He cut first through the layers of skin and muscle and then the uterus. He pulled out baby #1 and called for his assistant to bring a towel. The baby was still alive! Yeah!!! Next came baby #2 and then baby #3! Their hearts were all beating but they were very limp and not very responsive. Dr. Hess assured us that this is normal as the babies were effected by the anesthesia as well. We got to work cleaning them off and rubbing them dry and warm. Unfortunately, baby #3 was too stressed and weak and soon died. The other two were given a shot to reverse the effects of the anesthesia and soon were ba-a-ing and trying to get up!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioYRvUuQMoXk1WHuuuJivj11Fd7d2ZTdXkiq0EHrxUT1T3CRRzihFLghwCuBxHc0CmtpLpkDheb_oWtSwmhiCGHEL3DGIUmq-LKK8HO7ZkikU_eAfdCCpqlvmdbS9gseSeEK5dXHg4APi8/s1600/photo5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioYRvUuQMoXk1WHuuuJivj11Fd7d2ZTdXkiq0EHrxUT1T3CRRzihFLghwCuBxHc0CmtpLpkDheb_oWtSwmhiCGHEL3DGIUmq-LKK8HO7ZkikU_eAfdCCpqlvmdbS9gseSeEK5dXHg4APi8/s400/photo5.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
Meanwhile Dr. Hess continued with the surgery, repairing the uterus and stitching each layer closed. I didn't watch much as I was helping take care of the babies! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHo2ERL1tIL-uwlOYyRxP2sZSTPCy2sQg3CFn99mkXct18GGrRybc0W4auM4_Vizrpiya1bxkum2N7snTZkxR1Lfl6Ezth98SZK69gEzeqE16TYxgUb7PYalq0TWDJ5B-7J21a-8BGJjb-/s1600/photo4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHo2ERL1tIL-uwlOYyRxP2sZSTPCy2sQg3CFn99mkXct18GGrRybc0W4auM4_Vizrpiya1bxkum2N7snTZkxR1Lfl6Ezth98SZK69gEzeqE16TYxgUb7PYalq0TWDJ5B-7J21a-8BGJjb-/s400/photo4.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
Unfortunately, just after loading Betsy into the pet carrier to head home, she died. Apparently the stress of the difficult labor and surgery were just too much. We took the two orphan babies, 1 male and 1 female, home, put them in a box in the kitchen with a heating pad and gave them some warm colostrum which I had on hand in the freezer. They both seemed to be doing well. However, after feeding the little female, her neck twisted back over her shoulder and got stiff. I rubbed her neck with lavender essential oil and it relaxed but every time I would give her colostrum it happened again. She seemed fine other wise but several hours later she too died. <br />
<br />
The remaining little boy will soon be two days old and seems to be doing
well!<br />

He is much happier playing in the barn with the <a href="http://homemaidexpressions.blogspot.com/2013/02/nigerian-dwarf-triplets.html">triplets born earlier this week</a> than
staying in his box in the house! Ellen is being a good mother to all four! <br />

Betsy's labor and delivery were certainly an interesting learning experience for me but hopefully it won't happen again! I would love to hear of others who have had similar experiences! What might I do to prevent this in the future?<br />

I have been fascinated with all that I have learned about the Nigerian Dwarf breed recently. They originate in Western Africa and it is thought that when big cats were shipped over to zoos here in America, the goats were sent along as food during the trip. The goats that survived went on to live in zoos. As the population increased they were eventually owned by individuals as well. They were originally know as Pygmy goats but breeders began to recognize that within the Pygmy breed, there were two different types, the one being a more refined, dairy type. These became the Nigerian Dwarf breed.<br />
<br />
I became interested in owning some Nigerian's for several reason's. They are a smaller goat and thus do not require as much space, grain and hay. They do not give as much milk as the larger breeds but do give a lot for their size! Since they can be bred year around, breeding's can be staggered to give a more consistent milk supply. Their milk has higher butterfat content averaging 5% but can be as high as 10% - excellent for cheese making! <br />
<br />
Ellen, Betsy and Hans came to us from the Kirk family at Taste and See Home Dairy in Slanesville, WV. They are from an excellent line of dairy breeding stock and we look forward to Ellen & Betsy freshening, hopefully in early Spring!<br />

One of our stray hens who joined our barnyard several months ago along with a rooster surprised us by hatching 9 baby chicks this summer! One by one as they hatched, the chicks fell down from the stack of hay bales where mother hen had been sitting on her eggs for several weeks unknown to us! We found the cold, lonely chicks in the goat yard. After warming them under a heat lamp and giving them some grain and water they became perky and playful!<br />

After they hatched, we took them back to their mother, hoping she would take them under her wing again. No worries! She was very protective. Anyone who came near received a very nasty peck much to the boys dismay!<br />

One of my favorite recipes to make when we have an abundance of milk is Egg Cheese. I remember the delectable egg cheese Grandma served when I was a child. On my grandparents weekend visits to our home, Grandma's egg cheese would often accompany Sunday breakfast. It had to be shared among grandparents, parents and 6 siblings and I could never get my fill. Several years ago, while spending a few days with my grandparents, I asked Grandma to teach me the art of making this delicious cheese. Unknown to me at the time, it was just days before Grandma passed away suddenly. Below is Grandma's recipe for Egg Cheese. Grandma used cow's milk but I use goat milk and make my own buttermilk. <br />

Begin by heating 3 cups of milk to approximately 100 degrees F.<br />

While the milk is heating, mix together 7 eggs, 2 cups of buttermilk and 1/2 t. of salt.<br />

When the milk has reached 100 degrees F, slowly pour the egg and buttermilk mixture into the milk while stirring.<br />

Heat the mixture SLOWLY, stirring often. The hotter the temperature the more often it will need to be stirred to keep it from sticking. When it reaches 160 -170 degrees F, it will start to curdle.<br />

Continue to stir and allow it to separate until it has reached 190 degrees F. At this point scoop the curds out with a slotted spoon into a strainer. Let it drain for an hour or so before dumping onto a small plate. Cover and refrigerate.<br />

Gardener's Gift Goat Milk Soap was created with the gardener in mind!
The poppy seeds provide extra "scrub" for those dirty gardener's hands.
The essential oils were chosen for the anti-septic, anti-bacterial,
anti-microbial, disinfectant and healing qualities for cleaning those
dirty hands and healing the cuts and scrapes you might acquire as you
care for you garden.Jesalynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03252444459267703224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167501700973709610.post-49280645112953838722012-05-26T09:05:00.002-04:002012-05-26T09:05:50.553-04:00In the Barnyard this morning.........<h3 style="font-weight: normal;">

The essential oils were chosen for the anti-septic, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, disinfectant and healing qualities for cleaning those dirty hands and healing the cuts and scrapes you might acquire as you care for you garden. <br />

If the soap bar sets in just a wee bit of water for any amount of time, you will find it begins to dissolve and go to "mush"!<br />
<br />
We are now offering several different soap dishes to help your soap bars last longer. <br />
