Free Range Goats
Hickory
We rescued Hickory on November 1st, 2022.
She was doing well in her new home on our farm until she began showing a lack of allignment and difficulty walking.
We called the vet and got her diagnosed, she had a thiamine defficiency and needed a series of medications.
We were informed she may never be able to walk correctly like our other goats, though her condition would not deteriorate any more than it already had.
Now, she is doing well and her movement has been improving. We continue to make sure she is comfortable and watch for any signs of health issues.
Oakley
Oakley was the first animal born on our farm, from his mother Aspen, on February 10th, 2023.
As of now, we plan on raising him and have Cross Farm remain his home.
Oakley is a very energetic and beautiful goat who is always getting into trouble somewhere and doing idiotic things that make you laugh.
Aspen
We purchased Aspen, the mother of Oakley, with another one of our goats Houdini.
When we brought her home we were aware of her pregnancy but were unfamiliar with raising young goats.
During our portion of Aspens pregnancy we did an ultra-sound because she was past her due date.
We expected her to kid in January, but instead, she waited until February. This was her second pregnancy, and both resulted in a single kid.
Spot
Spot is the newest addition to the goats on our farm. We purchased him in August of 2023. He likes hanging outside eating with his roomate, Oakley, and our two sheep, Onyx and Opal.
