Today, we welcomed Cleo, a Nigerian Dwarf goat, to our homestead after an 11-hour drive to pick her up from Chicken Harte Homestead in Liberty, New York. Cleo has striking coloring and piercing blue eyes that make her a beautiful addition to our farm. She handled the long journey home well and has settled into her quarantine area comfortably. Having spent her first 8 months at Chicken Harte Homestead, Cleo was clearly loved and well cared for. She is adjusting to her new surroundings and our family has been enjoying spending time with her as she acclimates to our farm. We look forward to spoiling Cleo and providing her with the love and care she deserves!
