The Baby Goat Roundup
It’s been another lovely week with the baby goats. They’re just so much fun. Although tomorrow they will be one month old. Hardly babies anymore. Full of life and glee. Bruce is still the most outgoing. Clark is a little shy, but once he gets over the first hesitation he’s still as much of a little troublemaker as his brother. I love seeing them run around together.
They have had their first trips out of the pen. One morning I let them come out of the main door of the goat stable. Walked them around the corner and into the pen where I let the other goats out through the hatch. So they got a little taste of the big world outside. And later on in the day Dennis suggested we take the goats out in the little cloverfield to get some grass. Of course the goats had other plans and ended up running all around the place. Especially under the apple trees. So it goats! But it was fun to see the baby bros exploring. Still so much new to see and learn.
Not much else to say. Watch the goatlog for more details of the fun I’ve had. But first, many pictures.

Little help? Okay, little raisin then?

He’s so funny.
He’s got a bit of the Palleface over him.
Clark the sweetheart.

Sitting on the bench in the sun with Mia next to me and Palle by my feet. What more could I ask for?

All hail the Palleface.
I found a broken chair thrown out. Broke it into pieces to have some building material for the wooden staircases. The seat works as a nice little platform. I put it on the pile of branches and it didn’t take long before the goat boys realised it was a good place to stand when they explore the pile. And a good place to sit.
The three amigos.
Palle is almost as big as Mia now. The rowdy teenager of the bunch.
And a 30 minute goatlog full of so much fun and games that I’m not even going to try to sum it up.
Plus a little musical interlude of fun.

And that’s all for this week, folks. See you in the next one.
