Our little boy William was the first baby of 2014 and if you look at his baby picture you will see that he was born with a large one on his left side! We noticed this while cleaning him up after he was born and we knew at that moment that he was destined to stay on the farm. William has since been “wethered”… meaning he was castrated, and he keeps our herd sire (another addition to our farm in 2014) company so he doesn’t have to be alone. Goats are social animals and do not do well by themselves.
William’s dam is Hillary and his sire is Milo of Chribrydon Farm in Louisa, VA. His full sister is Chelsea.
William is extremely sweet. He immediately bonded with our son, Breckin. They spent the first couple months of William’s life endlessly playing in the baby goat pin, racing from one end to the other. William loved having someone to roll around with. As William got older and larger, they were able to play together less and less (something we warned Breckin would happen once William was bigger than him), but Breckin still loves to go and talk to him through the fence, or play with him while supervised.
