Goat Adoption Class

Date: January 24th 2026!

​Are you considering raising goats, but not sure what you need to know before making such a big commitment?  Come to one of our upcoming Goat Adoption Classes to learn more!  This is the perfect time to add goats to your homestead, and this class will help prepare you for that possibility.

We’ll talk about basic needs, benefits and costs of goats to see if they are for you.  We’ll discuss shelter, feeding, fencing and predator protection.  Hands on tips on picking your goats; understanding the goat psyche; learning what is normal in goats; and how to observe, assess and take action as necessary.  You’ll gain knowledge on ruminant animals and why understanding this is important to their care.  This class is perfect for first time goat owners, adults and children.  It can also be helpful to goat owners wanting to improve their knowledge level. 

​

A couple important reminders for visiting the farm! 
 

  • We recommend wearing closed-toe shoes:

    • before entering the barn everyone is required to step through a sanitizer foot-bath

    • browse walk paths may include some uneven terrain and prickly vegetation (goats LOVE blackberries!) 
       

  • The farm is home to 7 livestock guardian dogs who take their job protecting our animals very seriously! Please: ​

    • don't pet the dogs, these are working animals not pets ​

    • be prepared for their barking - they're just doing their job 

    • leave your animals at home - this is for your safety and the safety of your animals, they're trained to protect our herd from predators and we don't want your animals to be mistaken for a predator! 

  • You're welcome to take photos, please tag us on Facebook and Instagram @mtnlodgefarm!​
