1. Always text the listed number prior to visiting the barnyard so that we can be on standby for any issues;
2. Due to being a working farm, occasionally we breed our goats. Although when their due dates are close, we have baby monitors in the barn, should you notice anything that does not seem normal, please call us immediately; 3. NEVER feed the animals anything than what is provided by us. Goats have extremely sensitive stomachs, so we like to be careful with what they eat;
5. When feeding treats, please limit to two HANDFULS per goat. They will try and convince you that they need more than that, but we have to stay strong ��
6. If feeding or visiting goats with little ones, please allow the adults to hold the treats walking in and out. It is okay for little ones to feed the goats, but they will jump on whoever is walking around with the food, so best policy for the adults to carry;
7. NEVER walk up behind the horses. They are young and learning, so sometimes can have “happy feet”. They get nervous with kids grabbing them or running around them, so please allow him to walk up to you, and do not grab them; When giving you kisses can get a love nibble in; . They are very friendly and only attacking they do is in the form of kisses;
RulesforAnimals
4. Please do not go into the field or stalls with the horses. Although they are friendly, they are large and accidents can happen. Do not feed or visit horses without owners present.
