Goat Checkers are the goats' friendly protectors, but their role is far from casual. While volunteers will enjoy spending time with the goats, they also take on a crucial responsibility for their care. Each Goat Checker is required to check on the goats once a day, and this must be done before 10 AM to ensure any issues are identified early. While things often go smoothly, when problems arise—such as a fence malfunction or a sick goat—it can require significant effort or present a potential danger to the animals. This role is not just about spending time with the goats; it’s a serious responsibility that demands reliability, attention to detail, and a commitment to the well-being of the animals. We depend on Goat Checkers to ensure the goats remain safe, healthy, and properly cared for.
