Preserving Living History

Helping Save Two Critically Endangered Goat Breeds

At Happy Little Hooves Farm, we’re proud conservation breeders of Arapawa and San Clemente Island goats, two critically endangered heritage breeds with extraordinary histories.

For us, these aren’t just goats. They’re living pieces of agricultural history that deserve a future.

Through responsible breeding, daily hands-on care, and public education, we’re doing our part to preserve these rare animals for generations to come.

And when you meet our goats at a farm tour or one of our events, you’re getting more than a fun experience. You’re also discovering why protecting rare heritage breeds matters!

Every healthy kid born is another step toward keeping these incredible breeds alive.

Every Goat Has a Story

Special Needs. Extraordinary Care.

Some of the most remarkable goats at Happy Little Hooves Farm are the ones who need a little extra help.

Over the years, we’ve cared for goats facing physical disabilities, neurological challenges, and complicated medical conditions. Some need specialized housing, extra feedings, mobility assistance, or daily hands-on care.

These goats aren’t just part of our herd. They’re part of our everyday lives, and we’re committed to giving each one the attention and care they deserve.

Our special-needs goats have taught us patience, perseverance, and just how strong the bond between people and animals can be.

They may need a little extra care, but they have enormous personalities and an incredible amount of love to give!
