The orange and yellow goop you see on the kid is the amniotic sac. Mama goat is licking the baby clean and trying to get the sac off. We watched for a while, but Mama was having a hard time, so Dan had to step in to help...
Mama kept on cleaning the baby and after about 10 minutes the kid was already up on it's feet...
After Mama and baby spent a little more time together, we had one last task before we could leave them alone to bond. Dan put a little plastic clip over the umbilical cord to help it to dry up and heal quickly to avoid infection...
