Ground control to Blaze

Blaze was in a daze all day yesterday, walking the fence line, restless, around 3 in the afternoon she stopped. Nothing, no wet back end, nothing. Moved her to the drop pen in the barn. Pacing around the pen, finally washed her up and went in to check it out, she was dialated, wide open, could feel something in the cervix, she started contractions. An hour later she had a big head out and no feet, went in, got one foot and pulled the kid out. The kid just wasn't pushing its way out because it couldn't get those feet in position, and those legs are still bent but slowly straightening. Then another kid followed shortly. Blaze is retiring this year. She still has a beautiful dark brown fleece, it was first place in the adult mohair class at SAFF last fall. Bonnie Nauman, the fleece show judge from Texas, said she still kid tips on her fleece at nine years of age.
