First is Kix, born March 2nd... He eats like a pig as you can probably see he's a bit of a chunky monkey. (For Sale)
And next is my baby Orphan... I haven't found a strong enough name for my little guy yet.. He's sure been a fighter... He's doing well and is now eating feed and hay on top of his milk replacer and goats milk. So he has a good appetite which will help. He's completely full of himself that's for sure.
The first pics are of us taking him in the back of the truck to the vally to Judy and Kevin Batemans to try him on their mare, he was just as good as gold! The guy at the toll booth got a major kick out of him.
Snoozing in the truck
Getting hungry and Safflower on dad's ear!
And a few of him from yesterday having a short play time outside.

The babes are sweethearts. Glad the orphan experience went well. It's so scary, but he looks great and strong!
You should frame the picture of him looking out the window! I would have been in stitches the whole way. We brought a Holstein bull calf home two weekends ago in the cab of the truck, to dry off a jersey cow that lost her calf, everything went well until it pooped down the front of the drivers shirt. Gagging and laughing moment for sure!

Ha Too funny! I have no idea how we lucked out but he didn't poop the whole way! We were so lucky but when we got home he had the major runs I think from the full belly of awesome milk he had recieved from the new mare! Thankfully he didn't let that go in the truck! ha

Great pictures. I can just imagine the thoughts that went through the toll booth guy's head. I mean - how often do you look into the back seat of a truck and see a little horse staring back at ya!
