I am close to having my dream herd of animals…putting in the extra time to bottle raise babies so they are very accustomed to people for our mobile events. Babies like these have to eat every 4-6 hours for 2 months. It’s a constant job but worth it for friendlier “puppy dog” like goats.

One of my best friends has been on my mind a lot lately so I wanted to name one of them after her, which if you know how much joy my goats bring me, then you know that I did this because I love my friend oh so much! It was only fitting to name the other after my favorite singer because it just went so perfectly so meet 🤎🧡🤎Loretta and Lynn 🤎🧡🤎
