BERT   In July 2016, we   adopted Bert the Alpine goat kid from the   Société protectrice des animaux de l'Éstrie   in Sherbooke, Quebec (along with Patrick the pot-bellied pig.) Bert and his buddy Ernie had a horrible start to life. When Bert was a week old and Ernie a day old, they were literally dumped on the shelter's doorstep in terrible condition. The shelter's awesome vet took them home and nursed them back to health. They were also able to suckle off the vet's lactating goat. We were going to adopt both kids, but sadly little Ernie died unexpectedly a few days before we were to get him. But Bert is one tough little dude and is doing great here at the farm! He follows us everywhere and is strong, smart, and fearless. He has an adorable personality. Bert was born sometime in May 2016, and has fit in well with our existing herd of rescue goats! He is an excellent climber and we sincerely hope he won't start vaulting over the fences anytime soon.
