The friendly neighborhood goats of Healing Hooves LLC, out of eastern Washington, have arrived for their 16th year in the Highlands this summer!
The goat schedule is shifting slightly compared to past years. The goats will only have time to visit two designated locations in the Highlands, over two separate weeks.
The goats arrived June 20 and will return the week of July 1. They stopped at South Pond first, and will move to the Magnolia open space upon their return to the community the first week in July.
Rules for visiting the goats:
The goats are kept in the designated area by an electrified perimeter fence and are also watched by a guard dog named Gigi. Gigi works tirelessly to keep the goats safe from both people and predators. She and the goats have grown accustomed to each other and can be in the same pen. However, please leave your own dog at home when visiting the goats as to not scare Gigi or the goats.
Do not feed the goats. They are extremely particular about what they eat, and some food/plants can be toxic for the goats.
We all love these annual guests and want to keep the tradition alive for years to come, so please come pay the goats a visit and say, “Hi,” and be sure to take care of them so they can take care of us!
