FRANCES THE GOAT

Sweet FRANCES the very pregnant goat snacked on leftover veggies brought by farm visitors today at Winterpast Farm petting zoo in Wake Forest NC. FRANCES was out of the maternity pen this evening visiting her goat and sheep friends in the pasture and she nibbled some fresh pine branches. Farmer Mary hopes to have birthing news soon. Baby goats are called “kids” and we are ready for some new kids here at Winterpast Farm!
