Sponsor Telemachus in our Goat Stewardship Program

Meet Telemachus!

Telemachus is a 3 week old Spanish goat, a lesser known breed in Canada.  These hardy, adaptable, goats were introduced to the Caribbean and North America by the Spanish some time around the 16th century.  Primarily raised for their ability to range in difficult terrain, clearing brush, and for their meat, this breed of goat also carries a high amount of cashmere producing genetics. Producing large amounts of the soft downy undercoat every year which can be harvested by combing and spun into a fine fibre.

Telemachus is a charming adventurer with a beautiful roan grey coloured coat with black boots. Set to be the new herd sire for our cashmere producing herd!

Telemachus is eligible for sponsorship levels 1, 2, and 3.  He will never produce goat milk, but our boys still require quality feed, health care, and infrastructure because they have the very important job of helping to produce more babies here on the farm and without baby goats you don't have goat milk! 
So any sponsorship levels that include goat milk soap will be fulfilled with milk with one of our milking does.
Anyone who sponsors Telemachus may be able to have the option of adding some cashmere fibre next Spring, but this is a whole new endeavour so we will have to see how it plays out. Stay tuned!

For now, your sponsorship will go towards supporting his growth, health, and happiness and provide you with the most adorable connection to this dashing creature!
