Sad morning. While doing my morning chores I found one of our original goats, Calvin laying next to the fence dead. The first four goats we started with were from my Grand Uncles flock. Lisa named them from TV and cartoon characters. We had Buffy and Jody from “Family Affair” and Calvin and Hobbs. Buffy is the only one left and it will be a truly sad day when she goes. She and Jody were extra special to Lisa.

I don’t know what the life expectancy for goats is off the top of my head, but I have to think 15 years is a pretty good run.
