🐐❤️ A LITTLE REAL TALK FROM PASTURE PALS ❤️🐐

This is probably one of the hardest posts I’ve had to write…

At the moment, we have 102 animals in our care — and the reality is that I simply can’t keep doing it all, mainly on my own.

Between caring for all these beautiful souls and working 4 jobs to help pay for their feed, hay, vet bills, medications, fencing and everything else they need… I’m stretched incredibly thin. 💔

And as much as I would love to keep every single one of them here forever, I have to put the animals’ wellbeing first.

So, we’ve made the difficult decision to offer more of our goats and bottle babies up for adoption. 🐐🏡

I’ve also reduced the adoption fees on many of them because my priority right now is finding them loving, safe homes a little sooner — rather than continuing to take on more than I can realistically manage.

❤️ BUT… this does NOT mean just anyone can take them.

Every home will still need to be approved. We want to know that they’re going somewhere safe, secure and genuinely committed to caring for them for life.

🍼 We currently have 7 bottle babies available, but these are ONLY available to people with previous bottle-baby experience. They need the right care, time and commitment. ❤️

We also have:
🐐 Mums with their babies
🐐 More goats available than pictured here
🐐 Different ages and personalities looking for their forever homes

There are some absolute little characters amongst them, and I’m hoping we can find the right people for each one. 🥹❤️

If you’ve been thinking about adding a goat or two to your family, please send us a message. We’re happy to have a chat about what you’re looking for and whether we have someone who might be the right fit.

Please remember — adoption is not simply about choosing an animal you like. It’s about making a commitment to that animal for the rest of their life. 🏡❤️

Thank you for understanding why we’re having to make this decision. Sometimes loving animals means knowing when you need to ask for help and when you need to make the responsible choice. ❤️

Six little bottles, six little personalities… and one very full heart. 🥹❤️🐐🐑

Russell, Lilo, Randall, Cecil, Dolly & Roger, our little bottle baby crew. 🍼✨

Some days on the farm are messy, exhausting and completely chaotic… but then you sit down surrounded by six babies and suddenly it’s all worth it. 🥰

🐐🌿 A little paddock adventure with Dolly! 🐑💕

Today we took half of our goat gang for a little walk and some fresh grazing in the none-fenced paddock… because goats need adventures too! 😁

And of course, our newest little arrival, baby Dolly, had to come along for the adventure. 🥹🐑❤️

There’s something pretty special about wandering around with a tiny newborn lamb snuggled in your arms while a bunch of cheeky goats happily munch their way around you. 🌿

Just another ordinary day at Pasture Pals… where the paddocks are full, the animals are spoiled, and there’s never a dull moment! 😂🐐🐑

Rupert's Big Adventure 🐑✂️😂

Our big Merino wether Rupert has had a bit of a rough week, but thankfully he’s doing really well! ❤️

On Friday, Rupert underwent surgery to have his tail amputated for health reasons. He handled everything like the absolute champ he is, and he’s now happily back home, grazing with his friends and recovering nicely. 🥰🌱

A huge THANK YOU to Dr Jenny Muller and her wonderful team at Camden Uni Vets for their fantastic skills, care and compassion while looking after our big boy. We’re so grateful! ❤️

But… Rupert being Rupert, he couldn’t possibly just behave himself while staying overnight at the clinic. 😂

Around 6pm, Rupert apparently decided that he had served enough time and let himself out for a little evening stroll around the clinic. 🤣🐑

And where did he eventually end up?

In Jenny’s office. 😂

Because obviously, if you’re going to escape from the vet clinic, you may as well go straight to the vet herself to let her know you’re free!

“Hi Jenny… just thought I’d let you know I’ve discharged myself.” 😂😂

Thankfully, Rupert was safely rounded up and spent the rest of the night where he was supposed to be.

Now he’s back home with his mates, enjoying the sunshine, plenty of grass and hopefully NO MORE SURPRISE ADVENTURES for a little while! 😂❤️

Maggie's Little Surprise 🥹💕

Well… turns out our little Maggie had a secret! 😂🐐

We’ve had Maggie with us for about 3 months. She’s still such a young girl, and because she had been on her own for a little while, we honestly didn’t think anything was up.

Until 4am on Saturday morning…

I was outside checking on one of our other pregnant does when I heard something…

A tiny little “MAAAAA!” coming from the communal paddock. 👀

So, of course, I went to investigate…

And there was Maggie… with a TINY buck kid by her side! 😳🥹❤️

Somehow, we completely missed that Maggie was pregnant. We didn’t notice her bagging up, we didn’t see any obvious signs, and apparently this little lady had decided she was going to keep her pregnancy a secret right up until the very end! 😂

And what makes it even more beautiful is that Maggie is being an absolutely brilliant mum. ❤️

She’s attentive, protective and completely smitten with her little boy.

Welcome to the world, little man! 🥰🐐

And Maggie… you really could have given us a little warning! 😂❤️

🐐🐑 PASTURE PALS RESIDENTS LOOKING FOR THEIR FOREVER HOMES 🏡❤️ UPDATED!

We’ve had some new rescues added to our rehoming list, so our collage now features even more of the beautiful goats and sheep in our care who are looking for their very own approved pet homes. ❤️

Our residents range from approximately 12 weeks old (weaned) through to 5 years old, with very different personalities, needs and levels of mischief! 😂

These animals aren't looking for a quick backyard addition — we're looking for loving, committed homes where they'll be part of the family for life.

🏡 ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS:

✔️ Approved pet home only
✔️ Property/home inspection before they leave Pasture Pals
✔️ Secure, suitable fencing
✔️ Safe, weatherproof shelter
✔️ Access to clean, fresh water at all times
✔️ Suitable pasture/forage and appropriate feed
✔️ Appropriate mineral supplementation
✔️ A suitable companion — sheep and goats are social animals and should not live alone
✔️ Access to appropriate veterinary care
✔️ Commitment to ongoing care including hoof care, parasite management and shearing where required
✔️ A genuine commitment to providing a safe, loving forever home

🍼 BOTTLE BABIES

Our bottle-raised lambs are only available to experienced homes who understand the additional commitment, care and responsibility involved in raising a bottle baby. They aren't suitable for first-time sheep owners simply wanting a cute little lamb. ❤️

🚫 NO PETTING ZOOS

We do not sell or rehome our animals to petting zoos or travelling animal exhibits.

Our rescue animals have already experienced enough change and stress, and we believe they deserve stable, permanent homes where their wellbeing comes first. We don't support a lifestyle where animals are continually transported, handled by large numbers of people or potentially moved on once they become too big or less “cute”.

❤️ AND ONE VERY IMPORTANT RULE…

If life circumstances ever change and you can no longer keep your Pasture Pals resident, they come back to us. They are never to be sold, surrendered or passed on without speaking to us first.

We put a huge amount of love, time and care into every animal who comes through our gates, so finding the right match is incredibly important to us.

If you've been thinking about adding some four-legged, woolly or slightly naughty family members to your life, send us a message and tell us a little about your property, your experience with sheep/goats and what you're looking for. 🐐🐑❤️

Suitability and approval will always come before adoption.
