On All Fours

Feet that is. This little guy went from pulling himself by his front legs, to climbing around with the big kids. What a difference two days can make. Aidan's back leg tendons had not properly formed at birth, so it was a disturbing to watch him struggle. By yesterday we were up to three good legs. Today we have a regular, naughty goat kid trashing the barn! Auntie Vinegar came to look him over, now that he's cruising around.
And speaking of four, finally all the kids have names. The twin does are Ali and Abi (the darker head),
and the buckling is Andouille. Yes. Like the sausage. So in this shot, we have Abi, Ali and Andouille eating big goat food.
At two weeks old, Andouille had gone from 10 pounds to 20.5. He is SOLID!
