As the title says, we are sad today, last night we lost one of our baby goats. She was passed away in the stall when I went to do evening chores, with the other goats close by.

Below is a picture of her when she was born, you can see she was very tiny from the start, but seemed to keep up with the others and was putting on weight, just really small.

She was the runt doeling from Spitfires first freshening triples, and had just turned 5 weeks old. She was tiny from the get go, and I always worried about her, but she seemed to eat regularly and didn’t have any other signs or symptoms other than her tiny size. I was hoping she would just grow up to be normal, but that wasn’t in the cards. We called her “Little Rabbit” because she was so small and cute.

RIP little “Little Rabbit”.
