Poplar Hill Goat Farm


It was so much fun playing with the goats today! Poplar Hill was this week's field trip for my Large Animal Med class. We went on a tour of the goat farm and were able to interact with them. Several goats were just born within that last 48 hours, so we were able to hand-feed the kids with bottles of colostrum. Before we had bottles, the goats were trying to suck on our fingers. It was so cute! We also saw a couple does give birth to babies. It was an awesome experience, minus the strong smell of testosterone coming from the buck barn. I can't wait to go back in a couple weeks for more goat interaction.
