Monday Portrait – 2026 August Thirty-First

Goats don’t like the heat any more than humans do. We arrived at The Farm just after 3 in the afternoon. It was still in the high 80’s and even the Goats didn’t feel up to playing around or greeting their visitors.

Trying to Stay Cool

Normally, on a nice day the would come to the fence and greet us. Not today they said, “The humid midday air completely drained our energy.”

Nubian Goat

Ah, this spot in the shade feels just right, maybe a nice nap is exactly what we need.

Boer Goat

Maybe it’ll be cooler tomorrow, we can dream can’t we?

2 Goats & a Boy

Coleman with 2
Decorated Christmas Goats

These Goats all dressed up for Christmas are located at the entrance to Goat Island Park and Greenway in Cramerton, North Carolina. Coleman spotted the Goats when we first approached the entrance to the Greenway; one was standing and was laying down on it’s side. We stood it back upright, then Coleman wanted a picture. Thus, the photo you see here.

Don’t Be Greedy Goats — Share With Me …

“Billy” Goats Three

Staring at Me? No Need …
To Strain Yourselves

Just You Wait …
I’m Coming Closer …
I Want Some Too

Goats can be interesting creatures to watch, the antics they display anticipating and desiring attention from their caretakers as well as visitors to the Greenway. These goats are domesticated and will often calmly approach people. So don’t be afraid when they come close, lean toward you, or even nibble or lick your hand. Goats are very intelligent and curious animals. You, standing outside their area, entices their curiosity so they just want to explore and investigate your unfamiliarity. It is okay to show them affection, they thrive on the attention.
