While most kids have been back in school since Labour Day, some other kids arenB次元官网网址檛 heading in until Thanksgiving.
The baby goats from the Beacon Hill ChildrenB次元官网网址檚 Farm will run their last stampedes on Oct. 8, and then the farm family will disperse.
According to farm manager Claudia Laube, the babiesB次元官网网址� who range in age between three months and seven monthsB次元官网网址� will be adopted out to hobby farmers in the community.
B次元官网网址淭hey get evicted out for life,B次元官网网址� she laughed. B次元官网网址淧eople pick them out for adoption, and when they are ready they go home.B次元官网网址�
Goats only need two months with their mothers before theyB次元官网网址檙e ready to go.
Meanwhile, the momma goats, donkeys, pigs, poultry, alpacas, guinea pigs, rabbits and other farm animals will head back to a privately owned winter farm in Metchosin before coming back for the season next year.
Mother goats will breed a maximum of eight or nine times, but sometimes less if they appear to be struggling. Regardless of if they are breeding, they are still welcome back to the farm every year.
And what about the peacocks?
B次元官网网址淭he peacocks are not ours, they actually belong to the City as free-roaming wildlife,B次元官网网址� Laube said.
The peacocks will stay in the park year round and be fed by park workers, with heat lamps over their water dishes so they donB次元官网网址檛 freeze in the winter.
