Farm asks for volunteers to snuggle with goats | Animals | Forums

Anyone else see an issue with this? Seems if you would leave them with mom for a little while longer it wouldn't be a problem but the milk is more important than the welfare of the kids.

ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va (WVIR) -

An Albemarle County farm is looking for volunteers to snuggle their baby goats.

Caromont Farm expects around 90 baby goats, or kids, will be born by mid-February.

The farmers make goat cheeses, so 24-hours after the kids are born they start bottle-feeding the babies and milking the mothers. The kids have to be bottle-fed four times per day.

They are separated by size and kept in pens with heaters and hay to keep them warm. They even get small sweaters to wear.
