We have wanted to add goats back to Sunshine Acres Lavender Farm for awhile, and when we learned these cuties were available we decided to put the wheels in motion. We visited a nearby farm recently to see all the sweet and bouncy baby goat options. They could be available to come live at Sunshine Acres soon.
Miniature Silky Fainting Goats embody all the personality and lovable qualities of a dog, with the irresistible cuteness and playful antics goats are known to bring to a farm. The name “fainting” goat, also called “myotonic goat” refers to the hereditary condition that causes it to stiffen or fall over when startled, or even happily excited.
We are also excited at the idea of having super friendly goats prancing and bouncing around while guests visit the lavender farm for events!
In order to bring these 2 little ones to Sunshine Acres, we will need to modify fencing, barn quarters, and get supplies ready for their well being.
We hope you would consider making a donation to these efforts!
They are a complete package- adorable, playful, pet-like qualities and the ability to interact with humans in a meaningful way. They truly are ambassadors of joy!
Cost estimates:
Goats: $500-$1000

hay, minerals, grain, ongoing feed: $150++
