Finn's First!

[Nanno]

I'm loving this little goat! Not only is he a great trail companion (no baa-aa-ing, no hesitating, no disappearing), but he's friendly with everyone and so bold! He's curious but not stupid, and he explores but doesn't wander off. Right now we definitely have to keep him close if other people pass by or he tends to follow them in a quest for new friends, but I think this is going to be a short phase for him. He's already starting to learn his name and come when I call him if he's not too distracted. He goes well on a leash and wasn't all that nervous about the cars that sped past us during our short walk along the highway.

So far I'm also loving his conformation. Look at his shoulders in the photo where I'm feeding cookies. This little guy is built like a football player! But he's not chunky--he's just "built". He's got all his mother's boldness and athleticism with his father's beautiful, muscular conformation and nice feet. He's very people-oriented like Lilly too. I think Finn may turn out to be the first official "Cuzcovian" goat bred by Goat-O-Rama. If he goes on as well as he shaping up then I have hope that we will in fact achieve our dream of eventually being able to produce "Cuzco-type" goats here on a consistent basis. After all, this is just our first attempt! I'm very excited about this boy right now.
