Mawi (May 1st, 2017 - July 12th, 2017)
Two years ago, a little buckling was born in May. Two years ago, he tried a jumping stunt when he was only three days old and his little legs got stuck in the hay feeder. He went into hypoglycemic shock and his body temperature dropped, rendering him unable to nurse from either bottle or mother. To be fair, Pretty Heart was a very young goat, so she was not as patient as she might have been had she been a more experienced nanny. As soon as she realized that her kid was "different", she wouldn't allow us to help him nurse and she kept stamping her foot. She also kept bleating like she lost a loved one, which was very emotionally disturbing for us seeing that we were barely managing to keep our tears at bay.

When we saw that we were not getting anywhere with Pretty Heart, we decided to take the kid to the house where it was warmer. Two years ag
