Goat Kids in Snow Near Heat Lamps Kashmir Ranch

Flat noon light falls through sparse branches, casting dappled shadows across a drifting snowfield inside a weathered ranch corral. Several young goat kids huddle near glowing heat lamps, their woolly coats dusted with white. Wicker baskets for bottle feeding sit nearby, while wooden kidding pens marked with litter numbers stand against the wind-whipped snow. The ground shows trampled patches where the animals have moved, and the metal frames of the lamps reflect the pale sky. Snowflakes catch in the coarse fur of the kids as they press close to the warmth. One red plastic tag on a pen post contrasts with the gray wood and white drifts.
