Lilly was really sweet and mellow until she had her first kid and then it's like someone flipped a switch. She developed an attitude with every other goat on the place and even with me for a while. I called her "Diva Mom" after Petunia was born. She's an amazing mama to her babies, but everyone else had better get out of her way! She traumatized poor Petunia last year when she got close to delivering Finn. Petunia was the favored child and always had a special place in the herd because of Lilly. Lilly nursed her for something like eight months. Then Lilly turned on her one night, threw her out on her ear and told her to go fend for herself. Petunia has never really found her place in the herd since then and is a bit of a loner. There are so many things I like about Lilly, it's a shame she has to be so mean to the others.
