Finn is almost too big for the stanchion now. It's not that he's too tall or long, it's that his neck is too thick! He's nearly six months old and weighs between 85-90 lbs. He hasn't grown very much since the rut started, and my pudgy little guy is quite trim and muscular now. I can feel his ribs when I rub his sides. Two months ago I wasn't sure if he had any, the little blubber ball!
He's as sweet and friendly as ever and he constantly wants to cuddle up to me and rub that sticky yellow face all over me. Unfortunately, these days he's about as un-cuddly an animal as anyone could hope to meet!
Today Finn learned a new trick! I taught him to stand on my milking stool and spin a circle. It's difficult now that he's so big, but he's a very willing and attentive pupil. He's probably not *quite* as smart as Sputnik, but he's less hyper so sometimes Finn learns stuff faster simply because he pays better attention.
Can you beat this pose? I was trying to stand him up nicely for the camera and boy did he stand! He also generously annointed me and everything else within a three-foot radius. What he had observed (and I had not) was that Petunia had sauntered casually around the corner about 30 feet away.
