A friend of the farm volunteers as a groomer at an animal shelter and called Farmer Mary from there a few days ago offering to bring two female goats who had been found wandering and were never claimed.
When they arrived, they were shy, but they soon learned to follow visitors around and are eating out of hands very happily.
The new goats have been named MIDNIGHT (the black one who is very pregnant) and STAR (who also looks a bit bulky around the middle, but time will tell if a little bonus will arrive!)
MIDNIGHT is particularly fond of apple slices and carrots. STAR is a bit shy, but getting used to her new life at Winterpast Farm.
Come meet them soon and be thinking up some good names for the babies to come!
Update a few days later…they are settling in and seem VERY content with their new life at Winterpast Farm!
