The Big, Wide World

Today America and her boys got to leave the birthing stall.

They started to follow their momma out the stall door

and then came back inside to think about it a little longer.

After a few more minutes,

they wandered out together

and started to explore.

They gave a wide berth to the communal hay feeder.

And when they came in at the end of the day, 

they were so happy to see us!

They ate quickly and fell asleep even quicker,

tired from all their new adventures.

It's a big, wide world out there,

and today Delano, Dreamer and Diplomat got a glimpse of it.

America Delivers......

.....3 Bucklings.....

On Valentine's Day!

The sable brown one we named Delano.

The one with the black jacket we named Dreamer.

And the runt with the black dorsal stripe we named Diplomat.

But we call him Little Dipper.

Ranae just loves the baby kids.

Sarah cannot get enough of them either.

Thankfully baby goats earn their keep.

First, by being so cute.

And secondly.....

they make it much easier for the girls to get out of bed

EVERY morning and help me feed:)

Talk about incentive.

~ Oh my goodness ~

The runt.

Why does everyone always love the runt SO much?

I guarantee you that when we take these guys to the fair,

I'll get more offers to buy him than any other.

What is it about the runt?

Let's just call it the "Wilbur Syndrome".

The runt is irresistible.
