The long awaited first goat kid

R Farm is proud to present

 
our first goat kid!





He was born on Thursday, April 9, while we were all gone.
He was chilled and spent an afternoon warming under close supervision while it hailed loudly on the greenhouse.

He started limp but once he warmed up, he got some good milk into him and has been thriving every since.
 
We're working on a name.  
It's taking a little longer than hoped.
It's important to get right.

 His mom Black Beauty aka 'Thunder Hips' before delivery

 nearly as wide as she was long and tall.
 
Here she is keeping him close while warming.
She's a good mom.
 
Way to go, Beauty!
Welcome, little guy!
