Tara's kid

As always, I was nervous waiting on Tara to kid. I usually go down to the barn and she has twins waiting for me. I noticed that morning she looked dropped and then she left the flock and went back to the barn to be alone. While lying down in front of the fan  I could tell she was starting to have contractions. After lunch she was standing in the back pen with hard contractions but had not passed a water bag or started hard labor. About 4 oclock she passed the water bag, was lying down and pushing hard and started sceaming. I went in to check her and one foot was turned under, so I cupped my hand under it and flipped it up, in just a few more strains she had it out. A very nice big black buck kid.
