An expectant mama goat was in distress. This is how a Yuba County worker saved the day
A goat and her baby were saved by an animal-rescue worker, the Yuba County Sheriff’s Office reported in a Friday Facebook post.
Yuba County Animal Care Services Manager Heather Nall went to a Linda residence after reports of a goat in distress, officials said. Nall discovered the goat having complications while giving birth.
Since the owner was not home at the time, Nall took the goat to the service center on Feather River Boulevard and helped deliver the two babies, the Sheriff’s Office stated.
One of the kids did not make it, according to the post, but the mother and surviving baby were reunited with the owners, who were “extremely thankful” for the assistance.
