Little Man is the only goat below Sugar in the pecking order so he has the duty of being her companion in the kidding pen/barn. He is very bored and you know what happens when a goat gets bored! He's used to stirring the pot and getting the older wethers and my doe, Joules, to run, jump on their toys and play fight.
Sunday I let Sugar and Little Man out to wander while I cleaned and filled the water trough in the goat pen.
Little Man was so full of energy he was jumping up on everything and racing all over the place. I caught these two photos of him standing on top of a railroad tie! All four hooves on top of the tie and he was turning in circles! Then he decided to jump off the tie onto the fuel tanks, down to the ground and back up again!
Poor guy. He's truly going stir crazy. Sugar won't play with him and the toys in the kidding pen are "boring."
After Sugar kids Little Man will get to move back in with the big wethers and Joules will move in with Sugar. Joules can be bossy and this close to kidding (Sugar is due the 12th) I didn't want Joules butting Sugar in the side.
