No, it's not what you might think; our little buck is still in the herd. We do, however, have two very indecisive people still trying to name him.
He's been called: Tucker, Tuck Tuck, Theodore, Teddy, Dingle and Ned...though we must admit, he responds to none of these names!
Tuck Tuck remains a very calm and sweet goat though. We were worried about weaning him off his bottle last week as Lola and Abby screamed bloody murder when they were weaned, but he didn't even protest. Ned loves to play with (and hump) Oscar (a promising sign)! He's a bit taller than Oscar now, which is encouraging for the upcoming breeding season.
Oscar continues to amaze us. He is now very comfortable around other people and regularly will allow us to scratch his head and occasionally his back. Teresa even managed to brush him the other day, much to his delight!
Lola is still producing over 1/4 gallon a day of milk (14 months and counting). We decided to dry her off by September to give her body a rest. We'll miss the cheese, yogurt, caramel, ice cream and other treats we've made, but the lady needs a break!
P.S. Eric found a snake.
