Rueben

This is my new goat Rueben. He is 2 weeks old. He is a purebred Saanen. His momma died when he was 12 hours old. He and his sister were being bottle fed. I went to the feed mill and saw a sign that read "Purebred Saanen buckling. Registered parents. Born Feb. 24." Perfect I thought. Then I was like they would be asking WAY to much like $200 or $300 but I figured I would check any way just in case. So went and inquired of the little guy. The man told us he was selling him for $35 my eyes got SO wide! That was amazingly cheap. So we took a look at the little one and he was perfect! Long haired and wattles! I LOVE WATTLES! They are SO cute! When we were leaving his sister cried and cried for him. You felt SO horrible taking him away but it would happen anyway one day. His name is so true for him. It means unstable as water. Could you imagine losing your momma at 12 hours old then if that weren't enough you lose you sister to. His life has been unstable indeed. He is now my little guy and he loves me so much! I have been wanting a Saanen buck for quite a long time. It was one of those ridiculous wish list items that I thought I would never get. Well God worked out all those issues anyways. Praise God!
