Baby Red

Had a scare last night with the youngest goat. He is only about 3 months old. Every morning they are led down to the pasture below the hill to hang out in the sun and eat the green grass popping up. So every evening, we take them back up to the shed so they can be securely locked up. Last night Baby Red was gone! It was almost dark, thundering, lightning that was scaring even me and then during the search, it started to hail. We had to give up looking after dark. We have 80 acres here so he could have been anywhere. I went out 5 more times during the night hoping he found his way back and never saw him. Who knew I would become so attached to a goat. I could barely think or breathe, I was exhausted and  finally fell asleep. We of course, checked first thing this morning and still no sign of him. I was heartbroken. Then early afternoon, on another check, there he was, eating as if he'd been there the whole time. He has an injury to his back left leg and a small amount of blood around it, he is limping and really babying that leg, but he is alive. He is grounded, on lock down and quarantined! LOL

I took this a few weeks ago, it makes me laugh =D
