KIDS...5 Alive!

Kids, Kids, Kids...in reference to little young goats. I decided to post about the new kids on the Davis Farm. The boys beg their dad every spring to "go get goats" and eventually we all go in search of a young billy(s) who needs adopted. The boys choose their own kid and it becomes their baby to bottle feed. Somehow the kids also become the prized pets of all animals roaming these acres??? The boys love to play with them...they run with them, from them, jump on hay bales with them, lead them, play dodge ball against them, ride them, rope them & tie them. Poor things!
"Five Alive" is what Dawson shouts every morning & afternoon when he returns too see happy, jumping, eager to eat kids. You see, one morning last year we returned to the barn to find...um....5 dead! Not sick!-Board stiff dead! Oh.. the tears that were shed......
So this year we welcome Chuck, Snowflake, Happy & Jr. along with Bonnie to the Davis Farm.
And so far.....5 Alive!

Thanks for letting us help feed them, J. Today I had to go get one too.(Morton) the baby goat.
