Volunteers Needed To Snuggle With Baby Goats At Virginia's Caromont Farm

Caromont Farm in Esmont, Va., is looking for volunteers that are willing to take on the challenge of becoming baby goat huggers.

The farm specializes in making aged and fresh cheese products and is home to more than 120 goats. In the coming weeks, 90 kids are expected to be born that would need special care from humans because their mother goats will probably be busy with milk production.

Volunteers will have to bottlefeed them, maintain their pens and, as promised, snuggle them.

"It's cold, it's winter, there are going to be a lot of babies. Our main goal is to just keep them healthy and warm," said Izzy Zechini, the sales and events manager at the farm, according to The Washington Post.

Those interested need not worry about past baby goat hugging experience, because the farm won't be strict on the resume. All they hope for in volunteers are people that would want to give "lots of love" to the goats, Refinery 29 reported.

If you would want to take on this adorable challenge, you can go to Caromont Farms' website and fill-out an online sign-up sheet. If hired, you can choose your preferred schedule of volunteer work from early February through March, Mashable reported.
