My neighbor Patty at Shady Acres Farm called me up and said, “We’ve got babies, and bottle feeding is around lunch time…come on over.” So I went to see her Boer goats. She has gorgeous animals that are friendly and so well cared for. One mama died, leaving triplets orphaned, so they are bottle fed. Another mama had four and not enough milk, so some are being bottle fed. I held a week old baby in my arms and fed her a bottle. The babies wagged their little tails and followed me around. It’s so hard to remember that they grow up!
The first picture is me feeding baby #44. The next picture shows the bottle feeding station they rigged up to handle all the hungry mouths. Next is another baby, #42. And two sleepy heads napping in the sun.
No, Toto, I’m definitely not in Manhattan anymore!
