December baby goats have arrived!

We’re happy to share that our adorable December baby goats have arrived, and they are absolutely precious. All of the babies are already spoken for, and we’re so grateful for the wonderful families who will be welcoming them soon.

We’ve been hard at work with goat social hour, spending time each day handling, cuddling, and gently teaching manners. The babies are coming along beautifully and are already showing friendly, curious personalities. It’s such a joy to see them confidently approaching us and interacting with one another.

All of the mamas are doing great, the babies are thriving, and their coloring and markings are simply stunning. We’re so excited to watch them continue to grow over the next few weeks and to send them off to their new homes next month.

Thank you to everyone who follows along and supports our little herd — we love sharing these special moments with you!
