Meet Cleopatra
“Cleo” — The Quiet Queen
One of the first three goats at Pasture Five, Cleopatra — better known as Cleo — has grown from the smallest of the originals into one of the sweetest personalities in the pasture. When she first arrived, she was the one getting head-butted the most. These days, she’s learned to hold her own… and occasionally gives a gentle head-butt right back.
Cleo is friendly but a little shy, often choosing to stay close instead of racing ahead with the others. When treat time comes, you’ll usually find her right by Ashley’s side, patiently waiting while the rest of the herd runs for the gate. She loves meeting visitors, especially kids, and is always happy to take grain right from your hand.
Don’t let her calm personality fool you, though. When Cleo decides to jump, she turns it into a full show, hopping from stump to stump and balancing like she’s performing for an audience.
