So if you’ve been following our blog, you might recall that Gertrude, one of our original goats, and certainly one of our most expressive, is taking the year off from kidding. She had a difficult time last spring, and we promised her during her recovery and said, you will not have to go through any of that again, I swear. SO…she is officially “retired”—and, in case you’re wondering, her retirement package is WAY better than ours is. So while the other girls are fattening up, whispering to the kids in their bellies, Gertrude is busy acting like a young sprite.

Here she is, trying to challenge Louisa to the raisins in her pocket.
