… but a necessary one. Step one in calming Charlie down and beginning the process of stilling his boy-brain down a little bit - we hope! So early this morning we loaded and headed to UC Davis for a wellness check and castration. His team was waiting for his arrival and he was soon unloaded walking off the ramp and down the pathway to the procedure room. All was going well but the last thing we heard as they all walked away and out of sight was a quick holler as Charlie head butted one of the team. Not a great way to treat your caregivers!
Two hours later Charlie was ready to head up and head back ‘home’ again. He travelled well and with the help of Ty and D’Arcy he was led out of the trailer to his stall and paddock - still a little wobbly - to recover from his big day. The night was uneventful (yay!) and we look forward to helping Charlie get healthy and ready for a home with other goats and a great family.
