Farmer Mary has spent the morning getting warm water to all the animals at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. This is sweet BETSY who has been recovering from an emergency c-section. Today Farmer Mary let her out of her recovery pen to stretch her legs a while. Nursing mothers and pregnant goats were first in the list to get warm water this morning! This blast of winter weather has all the water bowls frozen solid today.
Farmer Mary is hoping we will be back to the lovely Spring like weather of last week very soon!
The bunnies and guinea pigs are in the warm garage space but they prefer their larger outdoor hutches and will be happy to return in a few days.
Winterpast Farm will be open Friday for St. Patrick’s Day. Wear green! Maybe CATY the last pregnant goat will have a baby boy this week who we can name PATRICK!
