The cutest little goat ranch in Gold Run, CA.
Every Goat Walk is a little adventure with a bigger purpose. Your ticket purchase is a donation to the Not By Luck Ranch Animal Sanctuary, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, helping provide food, care, and a safe haven for livestock in need. Come spend some time with our goats and enjoy a tour through the heart of the ranch.
Stroll alongside the goats as they browse through their forested mountain trail. Watch the goats walk, leap, and explore around you, offering a charming glimpse into everyday goat life. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to feed them treats, capture photos, and enjoy their curious personalities.
This guided experience blends learning, laughter, and fresh air. Come as you are and leave with stories, smiles, and a deeper appreciation for these delightful dairy animals.
This experience is not stroller or wheelchair accessible and does require walking on a forested mountain trail (about 0.50 round trip). Moderate fitness is required. Our Goat Walk experience will last about 60 minutes. No DOGS or other outside animals allowed, please leave your pets at home and enjoy ours. Every person in attendance must have a ticket purchased in advance and a signed liability release on file. Please wear closed toed shoes appropriate for hiking and livestock.
We know you will be enchanted by goats and we can’t wait to welcome you into our herd!
Goat walks at Not By Luck Ranch are best enjoyed by guests over the age of 12 as the free roaming goats can be intimidating. Further, the goat walk is an educational agricultural tour as we are not a petting zoo. If your child is brave enough to withstand the free roaming goats and interested in learning about these awesome dairy animals we do welcome guests of all ages.
All ticket purchases are non-refundable, non-transferable and valid only for the date and time indicated. Directions to our property are provided at the end of ticket purchase as a .pdf download, please be sure to download the directions.
