I stepped out onto the back doorstep this morning without noticing anything out of place. After getting the baby goats some alfalfa hay and goatmilk for breakfast, I returned to the cabin and found this surprise waiting for me.
I scooped it up and brought it inside for closer examination. I knew immediately what it was... a gift from our farmcat Taiga2. Each bead on the string of 7 is the size of a kidney bean. Of course, I had to open one up to satisfy my curiosity.
So here's a closeup of a tiny vole fetus... love this stuff!
