Adoption
Goats
Goats are extremely playful and affectionate animals that make great companions. At the Beacon Hill Children’s Farm the goats are for adoption on a PET ONLY basis; we are looking for people who are experienced with farm animals and/or prepared to spend the appropriate time and give the proper care to their goat friends.
Adoption Process
- Inquire with your municipality about the rules and regulations of owning a goat in your area.
- Things to consider:
- - ALL goats are dehorned
- - ALL males are neutered
- - Goats are herd animals and MUST have at least one other goat living with them, preferably one they have grown up with.
- - ALL goats must remain with their mother until three months of age before they are able to go to their new homes.
- - males: $100 + hst = $112 females: $150 + hst = $168
- Choose your goats.
- Pay in full or a 50% nonrefundable deposit (cash, cheque, interac and credit cards are all excepted)
- Pick up your goat!
- - The goats receive a dewormer, tetanus shot and selenium shot before they go to their new home.
