Not only is he enjoying life, he's positively thriving! He'd always been skinny, but since we've been feeding him twice a day (and with a trough of Just Grass at night), he's the fattest of the lot. We bought our goats some dog agility equipment a few years ago and Winston is the only one who will use the see-saw Smile
