We still have a few tasks to do but since the main
purpose of AOCCCI is people, not ranching, our focus has changed to other
urgent tasks. This week we have been
clearing land of Cedar trees so an electric pole can be installed for the
cabins that eventually will be built. We spend our mornings out working in the heat
and our afternoons inside working and resting where it is cool.
We were in the middle of our lunch, looking forward to
resting from the exhausting work, when the phone call came. When I answered the phone my friend simply said,
“Do you want another kid?” I looked across
the table and asked Rick, “He wants to know if we want another kid?” Rick jokingly asked me “whose kid?” Rick’s attitude was “If God is going to
supply we should accept”. So I told our
friend yes, and an hour later he arrived with the newest addition to our little
goat family. One look and I knew we had
a Boar goat. Upon further investigation
it appears we have another boy, a buck.
Rick wants to name him Spot because it appears he has some spots on him,
and it will confuse people since Spot is usually a dog’s name.
His first feeding.
He was born this morning.
