There’s no doubt about it – kids love kids! Goat kids, I mean. Let’s just say that my little caprine friends significantly elevated my social status in my elementary school days. Youngsters would flock to my family’s home for a chance to play with our baby Saanens and my mom would even bring them into the classroom a few times a year. It seems to be that like many other things, people only start to dislike goats or think they’re “gross” or “dirty” when they’re adults. Clearly the kids know what’s up!
I was reminded of this goat phenomenon recently when came across some great pictures from Minter Bay Dairy Goats on their Facebook page. Minter Bay has hosted 4th grade and Kintergarden classes to promote the goat! I requested permission to post the pictures on our blog and they said yes, so here they are for you all to enjoy!

If you have any great Kid + Kid pictures you want to share, please email them to helena [at] goatshowdoc [dot] com and I’ll post them on this blog!


I think every one of those kids I brought to the farm told me today at school how much they loved my farm. Pretty much makes me a celebrity.
Promote the Goat!
