Goat

Bruce

Rescue-versary: October 23, 2019

Raised as part of a child's 4-H program. After forming a bond, the family didn't want him sent to auction and asked us to take him in along with his friends Pam and Kevin, an inseparable trio.

Personality: The self-appointed boss of the other goats. Enjoys scratches behind the horns and being the center of attention.

What sponsoring Bruce supports

Estimated monthly cost of care, based on typical Park City, Utah-area pricing for feed, bedding, and veterinary care. Costs are shared across the herd or flock, so figures below are per-animal averages, not itemized invoices.

Hay & browse~$18/mo

Grass hay plus branches and brush to browse on. Goats prefer to browse over grazing flat pasture.

Straw bedding~$15/mo

Dry straw bedding in their shelter, especially through Park City's snowy winters.

Treats & minerals~$10/mo

Goat-safe mineral supplements and the occasional treat. Goats are famously curious eaters.

Water~$5/mo

A steady supply of clean water, year-round.

Veterinary & hoof care~$25/mo

Routine exams, vaccinations, and hoof trims every 6–8 weeks, plus a reserve for the unexpected.

Pasture & fencing upkeep~$20/mo

Goats are notorious escape artists, so their fencing needs extra care and regular reinforcement.

Estimated total cost of care~$93/month
