Herd & Flock Animal Sanctuary

Our goat Brownie is facing surgery for a uterine mass, but we're optimistic about her recovery. Brownie's journey to H&F began in a community garden in Oakland, where she and her daughter Marshmallow were part of a group of goats living in tough conditions (piles of wood, trash, exposure to rain). Thanks to the kindness of neighbors, we were able to welcome them to our farm, where Brownie has thrived, becoming a quiet leader in our goat herd.

Can you help us pay for Brownie’s life saving surgery?

🎮🐮 Our steers Han Solo, Finn, Rocky, and our beloved Tony (forever in our hearts ❤️) star in the new game Riddle Ranch from Clorofil!

We loved Isabelle’s first game Rescued, and this one is just as fun — filled with puzzles, teamwork, and animal rescue themes.

Come play it with us at SF World Vegan Fest this Saturday, Nov 1, where Clorofil will be joining us at the Herd & Flock table! 🌿

💛 Brownie’s Healing Journey 💛

Our beloved (and proudly bossy) Brownie Goat is heading to UC Davis Large Animal Hospital for surgery on Thursday, November 6! After several ultrasounds, vets believe she has a uterine tumor that could be benign or malignant.

You’ll notice her sides shaved in today’s photo — part of her diagnostics — along with a few throwbacks from when she first joined us, including two with her daughter Marshmallow, who passed away 18 months ago from heart failure. Brownie’s strength and confidence have always shone through, and we know that same spirit will carry her through recovery.

Would you please keep Brownie in your thoughts this week? 💛

The amazing LEAP (Leaders for Ethics, Animals, and the Planet) high school students helped us every step of the way during our big pigeon move! Together, we relocated all 60 of our pigeons into a spacious new home where it’ll be easier to clean and maintain a healthy, sanitary environment.

The move was quite an operation—students gently caught each pigeon, placed them into carriers, transported them to their new barn, weighed them, administered medicine for roundworm, and finally released them into their beautiful new aviary.

Thanks to our hardworking LEAP - Leaders for Ethics, Animals, and the Planet team, the pigeons are now happily cooing and exploring their upgraded space! 🩵
