I'm not sure how these survived in a tote this long, but these goat coats were taken to an area animal sanctuary yesterday. I actually found one more after I took the photo to send to them. Anyway, the zebra coats were made and sewn by myself. I know, I am shocked myself. I can still see the baby goats (kids) running around looking like baby zebras, ha ha!
I dug out my Mom's sewing machine and got to it one day. The pink one (store bought) was for our very first female Lamancha goat. The zebra ones were cut from old pajamas from the kids (recycled I should say). I sewed velcro straps on, and wah-la, goat coats for the kid goats when it was cold out.
The temperatures here are to dip into a brutal cold spell starting Monday, and the sanctuary has many goats, and kid goats. They asked the public for help, and we decided to give them all 4 goat coats.
We have no plans to raise dairy goats again, but we do have the means (and know how) to do it, if we decide to do it again. I can always sew new coats, so we are not sad to donate them. We are glad we can help them.
