Hello to our beautiful community! Over the past few weeks, we’ve had a TON of tips about potential places, and we wanted to give an update about where we are in the process. Thank you to everyone who has helped! While we are still following up on leads and reaching out to organizations, we have a couple of very promising options. There are many things that go into finding a new home; Accessibility to the goats and water being some of our biggest hurdles.

We HAVE been offered a strong option for a forever home! It would allow us the ability to not only allow our elderly herd to live out their days in peace, but would also allow us to eventually consider bringing on new animals and growing our current educational and therapeutic programs. This is a beautiful property partnering with an amazingly supportive group. HOWEVER, this is not only a farm setting (our non-profit has been based around being an urban herd), but it would also mean leaving the Portland metro area. While this offer is being strongly considered, we feel we must make every effort to explore our options within Portland. Not only because we are “Portland’s resident herd”, but this is the community that created and sustained this herd from their conception over 12 years ago.

We are also currently in talks about a second option within the Portland metro area, and are in the process of figuring out potential stipulations of usage to gauge what our fundraising would have to look like if we were to pursue them. These are still preliminary talks and the option could be removed as more information is gathered. As of now, this option is a place to have our elderly herd age and pass on, and we will be unable to continue after this herd has passed.

Once we have more clarity, we’ll have another press release and are considering holding a public town hall for discussion if this is of interest. We would hope to have said organizations and the public give us their thoughts, and answer any questions people may have. We think it would be a great opportunity for the public to meet the human faces who have worked hard behind the scenes to give the herd the best care over the years. Let us know your thoughts!

Carl getting his scratch on from Madi, one of our volunteers. Did you know: Goat horns keep growing their entire lives. They are made of a core of bone with a sheath of keratin. There are blood vessels in the core of the horn, as well as nerve endings. One of the main functions of horns is thermoregulation. The blood flow to the core helps them regulate their internal temperature. They rub their horns against trees and other things to mark their territory, but it also feels good! Sometimes they rub their horns against trees, benches, chairs, and loose branches. And females grow horns as well as males, although there are some breeds that don’t grow horns at all. #thebelmontgoats #themoreyouknow🌈⭐

Lefty going to town on the salt lick. We hang a few of these up around the barns and they contain salt plus other important minerals for goats: zinc, iron, calcium carbonate, copper sulfate and more. We also free feed some powdered minerals. #thebelmontgoats

So many ways to enjoy your hay. Sharing with a friend, eating solo, snacking under—or on— the picnic table, or like Lefty, saving some in your beard for later. #thebelmontgoats

On Sunday our volunteers got together for a Volunteer Appreciation outing at @topazfarm. We have the most amazing people involved with our org. It’s a testament to how much fun we were having that we forgot to get a group photo. It’s also probably due to the fact that we all went to visit the adorable goats that live there. Thank you Topaz Farm for letting us visit (and visit your animals and pick up some produce while we there!) And THANK YOU to our amazing team for loving the goats and sharing our obsession and caring for our lovable kids. We appreciate each and every one of you. ❤️ #thebelmontgoats

If there's ever a snack on board, Chester is *ready*! (That's Lefty chatting in the background) #belmontgoats #tbgchester #portland #goats
