Well, I don't believe that he'll melt, if he gets wet.....;)....and since this is summer weather for him....it is like swimming without having to go to a beach....:lol:.....however, he has earned a couple of easy days, so he can catch his breath, we don't want to send him home all wore out....they'll never let him come visit again if we do that....:)

The rain kindly did stop before we started on the goat chores next door. First up

Two bucklings born this morning. Here is @B&B Happy goats holding one.

Next we fashioned some makeshift barriers for 2 stalls so the mommas and their kids could have some private space.
Also put a tarp on the gate to block the one to breeze.

Still 1 more to kid, she's really big

After that the vet showed up (had an emergency call that held him up). Rocky was brought out

Then brought over to B&B's for the deed

Lest you think I did nothing useful while this was going on, I was dutifully holding the hot iron and making sure I didn't fry myself while taking pictures. After that picture was taken I handed the iron off and held the back end of the goat down while the vet did a little cleanup on the second horn. Small goats are surprising strong.
