πβ€οΈ Senior Goats Deserve Love & Care, Too!
When you commit to keeping a goat for its entire life, you also have to be prepared to care for them as they age. And just like us, that includes taking care of their joints!
Meet Coco and Fonzie! πβ€οΈ
These two were our very FIRST goats, originally brought home to keep my horse Macy company. And let me tell you, they are still our BEST goats! π€£
I'm convinced it's because they were raised with horses and genuinely believe they're horses themselves! π΄π No jumping fences, no getting stuck in ridiculous places, and none of the usual goat shenanigans. I sure wish we had more like them!
As they've gotten older, we've started paying extra attention to their joint health. One thing I've discovered is that finding joint supplements for livestock isn't easy! In fact, I've only found ONE!
So, we've gotten a little creative with how we give it to them!
π₯£ Molasses + Oatmeal + Joint Supplement = Happy Goats!
We mix everything together, roll it into little treat balls, and they gobble them right up without ever realizing they're taking supplements! π
Coco and Fonzie have it MADE around here!
At Deer Run Farms, we believe that caring for our animals is a lifelong commitment. From their younger years to their golden years, they deserve the same love, attention, and quality of care. β€οΈ
After all, they've spent their lives bringing us joy. The least we can do is make their senior years as comfortable as possible. πβ€οΈ
