Quadruple Trouble!  

Kia ora koutou, we've welcomed some extra special arrivals recently...

Our Arapawa goat Pippa gave birth to an exceptionally rare set of quadruplets in August three girls and one boy, now named Rocket, SP, Jools and Sam.

It was a busy arrival, and thanks to the expert care of our Wildlife Manager, Rocci Scott, all four kids made it safely into the world and are thriving.

With 15 years of sheep-farming experience, Rocci knew Pippa needed a little extra help during the birth and was there at just the right time to lend a hand🙌

These rare little goats are growing fast and keeping everyone entertained!

Come and meet them at the Settlement Stables these school holidays.
