Our First Kid - More To Come 2018

[Nanno]

They do grow fast, don't they! And I agree--dam-raised kids can be every bit as friendly as bottle babies if you take the time to love and play with them. We let them climb on us, jump on us, chew our hair, and other "naughty" things when they are very young. We start discouraging these behaviors as they get bigger. If you watch their mothers and the other goats in the herd, they follow a similar pattern. They let little babies get away with all kinds of things, but as the babies start to grow up the adults start making rules and boundaries. Phil and I like to try to follow this same protocol and the kids seem to understand it.

Can't wait to see photos! You had some gorgeous kids this year!
