Goats Update


Life and Death and Goats update:

The day after posting the entry below, I returned to my site. Sleeping in the shade of a stack of bricks in my front yard were a mature female goat and her newborn kid.

Three weeks have now passed since watching the vultures. There are at least three different new goat mothers and their five-plus kids that play and bleat and forage within the concession where I live. One of the new mothers is Flower, the one with lopsided horns. The sound her kid makes when calling for her is exactly the same as a dog’s squeaky toy. Exactly.
