🐐❤️ Today was an important health day for some of our goat residents.
Our farm veterinarian, Dr. Michael with Blue Range Mobile Veterinary Services, came out to vaccinate, deworm, trim hooves, and perform wellness exams on nine of our goats.
These goats came to us several years ago from a severe neglect situation after being used in a petting zoo. They arrived needing extensive medical care, proper nutrition, and a safe place to finally call home.
Unfortunately, during today’s exams, Dr. Michael discovered that three of our female goats have areas under their tails that are suspicious for skin cancer. Goats with pink, unpigmented skin under their tails are particularly susceptible to sun-related cancers because that area is often exposed when they hold their tails up.
One of those goats, Favorite, has already undergone treatment at UC Davis for cancer in that same area. Sadly, Dr. Michael identified two new areas of concern that will need further evaluation by the specialists at UC Davis.
While this news is difficult, we are incredibly grateful these issues were caught early. Early detection gives us the best chance of successful treatment and helps ensure these girls remain comfortable and happy.
Today’s veterinary visit totaled $761, and we know additional diagnostics and treatment costs are on the horizon. If you are able to contribute toward today’s bill or help with the upcoming UC Davis appointments, we would be deeply grateful. No amount is too small, and every dollar goes directly toward the care of animals like Favorite and her friends.

Thank you for helping us give these goats the care they deserve. We couldn’t do this without you. 🐐💕
