Our school goats are Nigerian Dwarf goats. They welcome visitors on the west side of the school, near the garden, with their bleating. They will follow you down the sidewalk, asking loudly for food. Be assured - the goats are well fed and do not need additional treats! See below for a who’s who of our school goats:

Sodak (he/him)

Sodak is the black goat. He loves attention, is so sweet, and is one year old. He came to us just this year because he had bonded with one of our other goats named Oz while he was at Sodak’s previous owner's farm. If you ever need an animal buddy to talk to, Sodak is the one!

Oz (he/him)

Oz is the biggest brown goat who loves to eat anything he can get his hooves on and cause trouble. He is very food motivated, is somewhere in between 8 to 9 years old and he came to us about 6 years ago. You can also tell who Oz is because he is the only one with blue eyes.

Rue (she/her)

Rue is the smallest of all the goats and likes to be lazy and eat. Rue has white spots on her side. She also is the master at escaping and will jump the electric fence whenever she gets the chance and is definitely the most headstrong. She is 8 to 9 years old and came to us the same day Oz did.
