Rocky
So if you read Summer & Stormy’s story, on of the visits to see them prior to them coming home, I was at the farm when a Mom had just given birth to triplets, not knowing it was triplets because I could only see 2 healthy babies because of the distance but what I thought might be a 3rd baby goat. And sure enough it was, a little boy fighting for his life because his mom had essentially pushed him away because his siblings were at least twice his size. So the farm was able to get some colostrum from the mom and had to feed the baby with a tube because he had no strength. I offered to take the baby and bottle feed it and try to save his life. So I had no idea that day, my life with goats was about to start a few weeks sooner than planned. I got the baby home with the tiniest of bottles, he started to take tiny amounts of milk and sure enough about an hour later, he stood. I immediately named him Rocky, for his fight. And it was all amazing progress from there. He was tiny then but grew into a handsome big boy and beat out Summer & Stormy by being my first goat at the farm. When the girls came home, once Rocky was old and strong enough, we introduced them and after some time, they became friends.
