I will get the book. I am hoping to learn so I dont loose more due to my lack of knowledge. The person who rescued this goat from a kill lot in the midwest said to never ever give alfalfa. I live North of Seattle. So I gave her orchard grass and alfalfa pellets only about once a week when I did her feet and looked her over. We have a lot of greens and keep moving our fences every few weeks. She had free choice on minerals and a protein bucket. She seems okay today, eating well, no temp, and not looking for babies. I have a call into the vet to ask what might have gone wrong. Thank you all

Hello, new to goats and have a question. I was given several goats 2 months ago, and one beer goat was pregnant with no info give about the goat. All adult goats seem healthy. This morning the goat that was pregnant given birth sometime at night. Found all 4 kids dead, 2 were still in there sacs and wet and hard, 2 were call cleaned up and lifeless. My question is would there have been anything we should have or could have done? I didn't know when she was due and hadn't separated her yet from the other 4 goats. I didn't notice any signs of labor. Is there anything we should do for her?  The kids looked fully formed and good size.
