Baby goat in coats to celebrate Valentine’s Day? 🐐
Yes please! 💕
Queen Emma knows that love comes in all shapes and sizes… and sometimes it has four legs and tiny sweaters. From caring hands to little hooves, this is what livestock love looks like.
Wishing everyone a day full of warmth, kindness, and maybe a few baby goat cuddles. ❤️
