Hi all,
Today a friend stopped by for a minute.  She left her sleeping baby in the
car (20 feet away) with an older child while we chatted.  All of a sudden,
she said, " I gotta go get the baby.  I can tell when he needs me.  I just
had a let-down!"   However, the baby was peacefully asleep.  It seems she had
heard one of our 5 BABY GOATS crying!  Talk about mothering instincts.
Anyway,  living on a farm, we have learned much about mothering instincts.
 If only humans were more like our nanny goats.  Our healthy happy  "babies"
are 6 weeks old now and have never had any ABM, (cow or human)  But they are
already beginning solids, nibbling at mom's goat feed.
Life on the funny farm.    Pam Wiggins
