Our Goats
2008 and early 2009 were good for us on the rehoming front which made winter feeding less expensive than the previous year much to our huge relief, of course with less to look after it also meant that the work was not as severe on cold weary human bodies either !!!
We have also, where possible, helped people to rehome their own goats and/or strays directly thereby eliminating the need for them to in come here which reduces any stress they may go through by moving, settling in and then moving again. “Stress”, I hear you say, well goats are herd animals which means that each time one goes off to a new home or a new one arrives the whole herd goes through a re-shuffle to sort the pecking order ... a bit like a general election the one who fights the strongest wins and the rest of the candidates are graded by their performance ... of course we all know that the strongest and loudest is not necessarily the best candidate to lead when it comes to governments and people but because animals are more in-tune and honest with each other the best ‘man’ for the job does come out on top !!!! With winter 2009 now underway we are thankful that we have only 4 goats currently at the sanctuary and it would be nice to think that this number would stay the same for the duration of the season on account of all the other species now here relying on us to nourish and care for them ................. One can live in hope can't one ;o))
