this little toughie is way stronger than he looks

This weekend, we brought one of our little boy goats, 3-month-old Donder, to his new home, where he will have the opportunity to become a daddy. He is a pretty little buck with an ethereal halo of fluffy fur around his face. Donder hates being on a leash, he twists and jumps and spins and somersaults, trying to get away.  To get this wild little 40-pounder into the van, I finally had to carry him all the way up from the pasture. My arms are still sore.

The first ride of his life went well, and he seems quite happy in his new home, with his new people and his new goat family. It will be fun to visit him in a year or so to see how his life turns out.
