You may have a mental picture of what a goat looks like. In your mind’s eye, we’re guessing this imaginary goat is standing in a meadow, maybe chewing some grass and sort of staring blankly into space. If that’s the case, we have an educational video for you that you didn’t even know you needed: it’s a group of one-day-old baby goats learning how to jump for the first time, all while wearing jumpers.
We’re sure you have a lot of questions at this point. Questions like: What do you call baby goats? Goats can jump? Why are they called jumpers? (Kids, yes and we don’t know are the answers, by the way.)
All jokes aside, the adorable animals in this video are definitely worth checking out. The babies were born to their mother Rhubarb and are named Gershwin, Butterscotch, Marigold and Bruno. Although they’re only one day old, that doesn’t stop them from trying their best to test out their new legs. The results are about as cute as you can imagine.
The video comes from Sunflower Farm, a small creamery in Cumberland, Maine which raises Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats and uses their milk to make delicious cheeses like feta and chèvre. Because Maine is known for its notoriously cold winters, the staff members there decided that these little guys could use sweaters for some extra warmth. It doesn’t hurt that it makes the video that much cuter, too.
After watching the video, it’s clear to see that each of these little guys has their own distinct and playful personality (though all of them look just as sharp as the next in their signature jumpers). There’s not much more to say about the clip because the content speaks for itself: the cuteness on display here is truly a gift to behold in the middle of a busy workday. All we can say is if your shoulders are getting tense or you sense your cortisol levels getting just a little too high, put this video on and see if you don’t have a smile on your face by the end of it.
Videos like this are truly what the internet was made for. If this one isn’t enough, be sure to check out the other clips on Sunflower Farm Creamery’s YouTube channel for more goat-related goodness.
