Bad day, lost my Rudy.
If it weren't so late (and I didn't have to be at work at 7:54AM) I would do a proper post for the passing of my sweet Rudy. For now, I will simply share the basics I posted to Facebook. I will be making a post for him to post in DGI and will share here at that point.
"Farewell my sweet, Rudy. I am sorry I couldn't stop it. Magic Acre Nubians R Valentino (Polled Purebred Nubian) N1369922P. "Rudy Booty Butt"
2/14/2005-8/17/2011.
He came home from TN at a week old. A gentle giant. Produced 59 does and 51 bucks we know of. At least 53 of them were/are naturally polled. We have exactly two Polled Purebred Nubian daughters, with countless polled grade and American descendants. One of those animals that makes it hard to continue when you lose them. He was taken way too young."
After losing Danielle it was very hard for me to find joy in the goats. Losing Rudy is as bad, if not worse, since I never accomplished with him what I had tried so hard to do the past three years. I expect we will lose John Henry soon. He stuck to Rudy like since Rudy went over there to breed the Hope Joy Farm does back in 2005. John Henry (Nubian wether) was 4 years old at that point.
