Smudge the Goat RIP

Smudge arrived at Big Ears on the 19th July 2017. He had been hand raised and very spoilt but his owners had to find him a new home. He was born in May 2013 as part of a school breeding program. He is very gentle and loves a cuddle. He gets on well with Scallywag and Albert his new paddock mates and loves lucerne chaff. He also has the biggest eyes we have ever seen on a goat.

Captain Crunch RIP

Daisy the Goat (RIP)

Daisy the goat came to the sanctuary in December 2015. Her previous owner who was moving house had rescued her from a tether. You can still see where the collar of the tether had cut into Daisy’s neck and the skin had started to grow around it.

Daisy is a friendly and trusting goat who is now really enjoying being free with other goats to play with,

Daisy passed away late 2016.

Sandy RIP

Sandy came to the sanctuary around 2008 after escaping many times from her previous home. He is always found hanging around with his girlfriend Opie.

Sandy was put to sleep on the 1st April 2017.

Billy Bob RIP

Billy Bob came to the sanctuary in 2010. He was a chattel in the sale of a property, essentially coming with the property like light fittings and curtains. It reinforces the concept as animals being ‘property’.

Billy Bob was an escape artist and caused his new owners a lot of worry. Since being at the sancyuary he has been the head of the goat herd and is happy to stay put.

Billy Bob passed away in 2016.

Bambi (RIP)
