Cuteness overload!!!
We have baby goats at the OVHS Goat Farm! Our Mama Doe Sunshine gave us a beautiful set of triplets over the weekend. Thirty Owen Valley FFA students worked at least one shift (2 hours) round the clock to be on hand to help with the delivery.
Aren't they just absolutely adorable?
