Pregnant goat update from Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC! Text your guess which mama goat will give birth first AND how many babies she will have and if you are correct with both YOU could win a free family farm visit!
Most goats have 1 or 2 babies but Farmer Mary has had a goat with triplets twice and quadruplets once. The goats won’t start to have babies til late March at the very earliest.
Farmer Mary will keep posting updated baby bump and udder pics. You can change your guess at any time. Farmer Mary is making her own guesses about the babies too!
Did you know that baby goats are called “kids”? We are looking forward to all the new kids here at Winterpast Farm!
Farmer Mary is setting up separate maternity pens for each new family to spend a few weeks together getting settled. She will need volunteer baby goat snugglers in the next months. Is that volunteer work YOU might enjoy??

Follow Farmer Mary’s NC Artist friend Amy Fetzer @ab.fetzerart as she paints some of the animals and the old tobacco barn at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC.
In this recent duck painting Amy found painting the burlap bag texture “a good challenge.” That’s a coffee bean bag donated by @larryscoffee in Raleigh.
Farmer Mary uses the empty coffee bean bags to insulate bunny, guinea pig and baby chick pens in the winter and for shade for the animals in the summer.
We even have a bunny named LATTE LARRY! Come meet him soon. And when you next visit Larry’s Coffee in Raleigh be sure to tell them you met “Little Larry” the sweet Lionhead bunny at Winterpast Farm!

GRAY EARS and PEARL hope you will come to the Friday March 2nd Dr. Seuss Birthday event at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC.
Farmer Mary will be reading aloud from Green Eggs And Ham and a huge green emu egg will be available for holding. Visitors are also welcome to have a sweet bunny in their lap during story time!
Farmer Mary takes in unwanted pet bunnies then rents them out to help people realize they don’t need to own a pet bunny. “Too much poop” is the most frequent remark after a rental. #rentdontshop
