Goat

Louis

Rescue-versary: April 15, 2023

Came to Sage Mountain with his brother Lenny after their previous owner sold their house and planned to send them to a livestock auction. We got word in time to negotiate their release to sanctuary.

Personality: Loves hanging out with everyone who visits, leaning in for snuggles, and taking care of others.

What sponsoring Louis 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
