Is Faintly Bigger Than….?

Those of you who have been following along with the births of all the goat kids this year recently met the smallest of them all. She was the third born in a set of triplets. Her siblings were quite large – about 8lbs. But she, bless her wee little womb-squeezed heart, was only about 3lbs. Tops.


So Farmer John named her “Faintly.”


Because she’s just barely, faintly here.


She’s got a good appetite, and a good voice. So she’ll likely be just fine.


Many of you wanted to see a comparison photo with another one-day-old baby goat. So we posted this one:

(She’s on the left. Obviously.)


But then some of you realized that you really didn’t know how big either of the goats were, so you asked for another comparison photo.


So we took several. Because we’re nice like that. Plus, Faintly’s pretty easy-going. So to answer your questions…
