Sherman T Potter’s story

Attention – Meet Sherman T. Potter

Updated October 4, 2023

Ever wondered why goats are referred to as Great Of All Time? Well, the short answer is you only need to spend time with them, and you will see. Little Sherman T. Potter is no exception.

Like so many little kids who have caused us to shout “in-coming” of late, little Sherman was found all alone. Frightened and scared after his herd had moved on, his loving mumma spooked by the suburban encroachment on what was once good goaty digs.

Unlike his namesake from the hit TV series M.A.S.H, our Sherman T. Potter is more than happy to play second fiddle to the “I’ll find hijinks anywhere” Trapper John. Although never too far from his hoof, Sherman pitter-patters along in his endearing way, reminding us all that it really is the little things, or rather beings, in life who count.

Without the multiple-times-a-day stomach tubing of life-sustaining milk, the little guy would have surely perished

The wee Sherman loves cuddles just like a baby, although he missed his dear mumma sorely like any babe would in those vital first days of life. So strong was his grief that on arrival he refused to drink, holding out this resolve for well over a week. Without the multiple-times-a-day stomach tubing of life-sustaining milk, the little guy would have surely perished.

And then, from nowhere, he made peace with the world and now looks as feverishly forward to his bottle as his buddies, Trapper John, Hot Lips and Masha do.

That this little troupe are indeed the Greatest Of All Time – in their ability to show us how to love life to the fullest, to pluck joy out of fresh air and spring our empathy into action – really does command our attention.

This, too, serves as a potent reminder of what becomes of you when you open not just your mind but your heart to the fact that the seemingly powerless are not just precious, but powerful beyond measure!

Monet, the rooster, embodied beauty amid cruelty. Abandoned with his hind toes amputated, Monet’s story urges us to leave impressions of kindness that outshine the shadows of cruelty.

Found abandoned, her fractured leg spoke of hardship. Yet, she embraced surgery, adapting to life on three limbs with grace. Miranda’s journey challenges us to reconsider our perceptions, reminding us of the shared essence that binds us all.

In the wake of Fae’s groundbreaking surgery, we exhale, beginning her journey to recovery. Reminded of life’s fragility, we stand ready to support her. With each day, Fae embraces new sensations, infused with the promise of kindness and the pledge to rewrite her destiny.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a goat? No, it’s Manfred Lamb! And he recently touched down into our hearts. Heralding the start of lambing season this year, dear Manfred is the first of our 2024 arrivals.

In the heart of the mangrove swamp, amidst blackberry scratches and mosquito swarms, a team embarked on a mission: rescuing a dumped rooster. As dusk loomed, their perseverance paid off in a dramatic finale, with Tylden Lad’s triumphant capture at the eleventh hour, marking a race against time and fate.

At just over one year of age, things were looking grim for Carlos. A sweet, albeit timid, young Boer goat, his immature body had taken a savage beating due to the insidious Barber’s pole worm. However, the most urgent of his woes, which far surpassed this, was a crunchy lump on his right thigh that told a crushed tibia bone lay painfully shattered underneath…

Meet this adorable and affectionate little lad named Rocky Balboa. Yet there are no fly kicks from him. In fact, the only thing that will hit you when you meet him is how endearing he is, and how undeserving he was of the dire fate he faced.

After being abandoned and almost hit by a car, these pigs were exhausted, underweight and covered in lice. But now this happy quartet have been given names synonymous with peace, as this is our promise for how they shall live out their days.

Ann, a sweet little doe-eyed heifer calf was recently spotted on our morning rounds. She was huddled in a tight ball in our tree plantation line, which separates this property from the next.

“Can someone please help me out I have a full grown female goat wanting to give away but marketplace won’t allow me to post…free of charge”.
