Claire is 9 Weeks Old

Claire with Bruschi

Claire is 9 weeks old now.  As you can see in the picture above she has everyone wrapped around her little hoof.  No seriously, all the adults love her.  Windy her mom takes great care of her.  But Whimsey, Windy's sister loves to take care of Claire too.  Claire loves her auntie Whimsey and loves to cuddle with her.  Priscilla also shared with Windy watching the babies when they were all together.  Maddy & Bruschi like to get little Claire to play with them.  It amazes me that they know to be gentle with her.

Claire is the only baby in the big pasture now that Chloe has gone to her new home, so we kinda let her do what she wants.  Claire wanted to come out to the milking area during feeding time the other day and she kept trying to get auntie Whimsey's food.  I ended up giving her some grain in her own bucket and she nibbled on it a bit.

She is doing really well eating grain.  She has grain in the creep feeder for her to eat whenever she wants during the day and then at night we put a bucket of grain in the pen with her for her to eat if she wants.

I'm not sure if I mentioned it before but Claire is sold.  As a matter of fact she has been sold for quite awhile now.  She will be going to a new home that already has 3 other does, girls.  Also Carter will be going to the same home too.  They will be separated because they are too little to breed but I'm glad that they will be going to the same home together.  Claire and Carter will be going to their new home in 2 weeks.

Gorgeous Claire
