Great news! Midnight, the baby goat has been returned. Tonight a car drove onto the island
and minutes later Midnight walked up to people sitting outside of their RV. We are grateful to all who helped search and to the person who returned her. Thank you all for your support and community outreach which we believe led to her being returned.

05/28/2023

Help! It has happened once again. This precious baby goat, which is one of the quadruplets born a couple of weeks ago is missing. After an extensive search of the entire island, we are concerned that she may have been taken. She is too young to be away and we ask for anyone who knows anything about her disappearance to reach out to us.

05/07/2023

We have had a first! This beautiful momma goat gave birth to quadruplets. They are all doing well.
