Meet Lillie, Animal Ambassador

Last Updated 10/22/2024Posted in Homepage, Ambassadors


Lillie is the top female goat in our herd and she likes to make that known to everyone! She is one of our 12 goats and is the mom of Oreo. 

Lillie looks similar to Ellen but her horns go further back while Ellen’s go further out, and Lillie is a little bigger. Lillie is around eleven years old and a part of our original goat herd who came from a young couple who were forced to move from the farm they were living on and were not in the position to purchase farmland of their own.

Lillie likes to show the other goats who’s boss and keeps them in check by head butting them when they least expect it. She is part Nubian, part Tennessee fainting goat but you are very unlikely to ever see her fall over as she is one tough cookie! Lillie loves to eat and will jump up on any surface at every level to get that food!

When you come to visit, keep an eye out for Miss Lillie, she will be one of the first to the fence, ready to take all the treats you will give her.
