Hello to our beautiful community. We have gotten many inquiries on what our timeline for our move looks like. We have been battling health issues of several of our goats in addition to unexpected costs and hurdles. So we have been unable to give the public definitive dates until we could work through these obstacles.

This Sunday we will be doing what we hope are final preparations of our new location prior to moving goats. We have a team of volunteers that will be installing tree protection fencing, doing final touches on our small shelter, spreading wood chips to protect tree roots, and pulling any toxic plants in addition to making sure there is no longer any trash in the vicinity. Once we accomplish all of this, we will finally be ready to move the goats to their new home!

If you are interested in joining a work party, want to be a volunteer to help care for the aging herd, volunteer to be present on days we open up to the public, or just want to find ways to support our organization, visit our website at thebelmontgoats.org. We also have an active fundraiser https://donorbox.org/relocation-campaign, in addition to a redbubble shop where you can buy merch!!

We look forward to settling into our new home, and seeing renewed interest and participation from our community. Thank you for your many years of love and support for this amazing herd.

It has been a heavy week for The Belmont Goats team. In addition to a few goats with health scares the past couple weeks, our princess Bambi had a fall and seemed to be unsteady. We had hoped that with rest and pain meds she would also make a full recovery. If you visited last weekend, you would see that Bambi was relaxing in the field while being supervised and in a secure pen when not supervised to avoid her falling or getting knocked again.
On Sunday evening, while the owner (also known as mom to the goats) was there to do evening chores, Bambi seemed to be in pain. The owner gave her some more pain meds and laid with her in her pen. She suddenly and unexpectedly passed in the arms of her mom. While the whole team is devastated by the loss of our princess, we are so grateful that she was not alone. We know that she is catching up with her twin Cooper in the afterlife. Bambi was such a sweet, silly character. She was so docile and gentle, but would roar like a dinosaur when she decided to assert herself during feeding time. She would even take a bite out of each apple when she got ahold of a box, because she knows the others won’t touch them if they were slobbered on.😅 She had such a silly, smiley face that was famous in pictures. Her and her twin Cooper were bottle-fed when they first came to the herd, so they were the most social. They would often be seen at various events, happily interacting to everyone that approached them. She was always eager for an adventure and she was never one to turn down a hat or cape or any kind of costume. She would give you a hoof for attention, and loved to lounge in the chairs we set out for visitors. Bambers, Bambule, Bam-Bam, Bambasaurus. Independent and super affectionate. She was brave and intrepid--the last to come in when it was raining and the first to inspect the field after a snowfall. Her presence is dearly missed. Her massive love and character leave another little hole in our hearts and within the herd. Please feel free to come visit us this weekend for gate hours. Please hold your loved ones close, you never know how long we have with them.
