The Running of the Goats Video- All 90!

Everyone always asks where the mamas are when we do videos of just the kids, so this year we thought it would be fun to let the whole herd of 90...yes NINETY GOATS...run together. Happy Summer 2019!!! As herd animals, goats need other goats to be happy. They alert each other with a sneeze if there is a threat, they all run together for pure joy and a mama goat can recognize her kid's voice from up to a kilometer away, proof that their connection matters. For this reason, we only ever sell kids in at least pairs so they go with a friend and we love to watch the goats rest in big piles in the pasture four generations deep! Some people separate the kids from their mothers at birth, that would be inconceivable to us as watching them play together is a huge part of what we love about having goats. Be sure to look for the kids who jump on their mama's backs mid video. In the second part, we let the kids out for a little solo run. (This years group is so big it is hard to keep everyone going in the same direction so it took us quite some time to get them all safe a tucked into their stall after running! ;)
