Trip is such a character. I love him. I have him in a small area in the barn, but when I am outside, he has freedom to follow me every where. He does not like to get his feet in the snow. He is so funny, he stands in the door and screams his head off for me to return. And this morning, I brought one of my geese into the barn because she may be developing an infection in her one foot. Well Trip insists she must be friendly, so he approaches like nothing. She hisses and shows him her wings, and he kept on. She finally walked away from him. Yeah, he is tough.

Also this morning, I left him into the general goat pen with everyone else. He strutted himself right on in. He walked right up to my big whether and sniffed his butt. Danny was not amused. Trip did fine, but I did not leave him in there alone, because Danny is top goat and weighs well over 150 lbs and could hurt Trip, if he pinned him up against the wall.

He is growing like a weed. Starting to eat hay and even playing with some grain.

We weighed him today. 20 pounds even. That was just before his afternoon bottle.

It was in the thirties today, but sunny. So I was busy outside and of course Trip was with me every step of the way. I tried to get a video of him, but all I could get was the top of his head, because he is always right behind me. He is already to start his breeding kick. I let the does that are bred into the main part of the barn to eat grain and then I feed Trip his bottle. This morning after his bottle, I caught him mounting one of the does. His little thing was not out, but he sure was trying his best. She did not mind until her grain was gone, then she made sure he understood that she was not interested. So he runs between my legs.

Trip being himself. Tasting the green grass, actually tasting anything he can get his mouth on.

Trip when he realized that I was getting more than 10 feet away from him.

In this photo, he is looking over his shoulder, what is that big thing coming this way?

It was my Belgian (Blue), she gets along great with all of our animals. Trip had no fear.

Trip and his buddy Frank. Frank really likes it when Trip decides to pull his head off of his bottle. Frank is happy to clean up whatever spills.

Now back at the barn, I was building kidding pens in one of the stalls, Trip was pooped. He found a sunny spot and fell asleep.

Finally, I could get something done without his help. Do you know how much of a pain it is when a goat has to have his head right where your hands are? Nothing scares him. I thought for sure he would not like the Dewalt drill sounds, but oh now, he was right there trying to eat the screw.
