We have this wild herd of little goats right now. I expect them to jump on the car any day now. We still have one of last year’s kids, Frodi. He’s never going to be very big and has a crippled front leg. It’s funny to watch him play with the other kids. Jeffrey is planning to keep the buck orphan kid for a cart goat (yes, he still wants a cart goat.) Is calling him Ragnarok I think. Since this one is bottlefed, he’s easy to work with. The orphans all run up to you and try to nurse on your knees. The formula seems to work pretty well as they are comparable in size to the kids raised on mom’s milk.
We also have a sitting goose, which means we can let the geese out and they won’t bolt for the neighbors’. It would be nice to have a clutch hatch out. Likely we’ll have one or two again, just like with the chicks. And the chicks are still with us and growing by the day.
