The Kids' Barn

Fairhill's First Baby Goats

Five Miniature Pygmy goat kids arrived at Fairhill in the winter of 2026, and the Sunshine Coast named them. We had 91 entries, and the winning names were read out at the Official Opening of The Kids' Barn on Sunday 9 August 2026. Meet Harry, Henry, Hugo, Harvey and Hazel.

Why every name begins with H

Every creature born at Fairhill in the same year is given a name beginning with the same letter, so we can always tell how old they are. 2026 is our year of H, which is how five little goats became Harry, Henry, Hugo, Harvey and Hazel. It is an old herd-keeping habit and it means that years from now, an H name still tells you exactly when that animal arrived.

Thank you to everyone who sent in a name. There were 91 entries and five gift cards, and the five winners were announced live at the opening of The Kids' Barn.

Ten more kids have arrived, and they need names too

Our newest Miniature Pygmy goat kids are looking for names, with ten Fairhill Family Memberships to be won. See Name the New Goat Kids to enter.

Come and meet them

Harry, Henry, Hugo, Harvey and Hazel are at The Kids' Barn every day, with Cuddle & Brush at 8.30am and 12.30pm. As our baby mini goats grow up, they drink their bottles of milk super-fast, so it's not possible for everyone to bottle feed all year round. But they love to be brushed, so come and join in our Cuddle & Brush sessions! We'll always let you know when more new babies arrive. They take longer on the bottle, and that's when we need lots of extra helping hands. See Fairhill Adventures to plan your visit.
