Portland, United States - August 07, 2025 The Oregon Zoo has welcomed three new Nigerian dwarf goats named Biscuit, Jam, and Jelly to its Family Farm area. Biscuit is one year old, while Jam and Jelly are about five months old. The trio was adopted from a local farm earlier this summer and is quickly settling in with the other goats. Jen Osburn Eliot, who manages the Family Farm, said the young goats are playing happily and following Biscuit’s lead as they adjust to their new home. This week, Biscuit, Jam, and Jelly began spending time with the zoo’s six adult Nigerian dwarf and mini-Nubian goats. So far, their introduction has gone smoothly with only minimal head-butting. “Goats are highly social animals, so it’s wonderful to be able to provide a herd environment for the new arrivals,” Eliot said. “They’ve been participating in our goat encounters as well, and guests are really enjoying them.” Visitors can meet the entire goat herd, including the new kids, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. throughout the summer. The nine goats at the Family Farm aren’t the only goats cared for by the zoo. Two goats live at the Jonsson Center for Wildlife Conservation in Clackamas County, where they help resident California condors by grazing on wild vegetation, including invasive plants like English ivy and Himalayan blackberry.
