Friday evening, I caught the last batch of kids.
Some of the boys
I had all eight of them shut in the greenhouse.
Jasmine and Sunshine
Then I turned around and saw Thunder had escaped.

I have no idea how. Ivy looks like she wishes she could have escaped too.

I decided to leave Thunder with his mom until morning. My plan was to catch him still snuggled with his maa when I came out to milk.
Sidney with her boy, Thunder.
Well, when I came out to milk, he and his brother were already on high alert with their mom. Brats. It took some work, but I caught them both, and as punishment, they had to wait on the truck until my nephew came to load everyone else out.

So, all eight kids got loaded and sold yesterday morning.
It’s bittersweet to see the kids leave, but mostly it’s a relief. Fewer animals during the end of summer wormy season is a good thing.
