The owners of Yellow Point Farms are still holding out hope a missing baby goat will be returned after psychics report the little animal is alive.
The kid went missing Saturday, possibly during a goat snuggle session at the Ladysmith farm, and has not been seen or heard from since.
Justin Dault, Yellow Point Farms owner, said the missing goat has no name because it was only 12 days old when it went missing. He said as of Wednesday afternoon the goat would have been 16 days old and weighs approximately five pounds.
Offers to help find the little kid have come from a wide variety of sources, including psychics and private investigations agencies.
鈥淲e had three psychics phone us 鈥 well, a couple psychics in there and a couple other companies that do investigations and stuff like that 鈥 three people said that the goat was alive,鈥 Dault said.
Neighbours in the Yellow Point community have also been offering money to put up a cash reward, which he capped at $1,200 to try and slow the pace of phone calls with offers of help the farm was receiving.

鈥淚 just said, 鈥楬ey, let鈥檚 find the goat first and go from there,鈥 he said. 鈥淚t could have went significantly up real fast just like, you know, the Notre Dame kind of thing.鈥
At the moment the Daults are looking for any pictures people might have of the little goat on the afternoon it disappeared, allegedly during the farm鈥檚 goat snuggles session Saturday.
鈥淲e have a picture of the goat in someone鈥檚 hands at 1:34 p.m. in the afternoon and then after 2 o鈥檆lock, when we鈥檙e looking through anybody鈥檚 pictures we can鈥檛 see that goat anymore,鈥 Dault said.
He said photos received, so far, have been handed over to police.
Dault said he and his wife are overwhelmed by the interest in the missing goat from the people in the community and beyond.
鈥淚t鈥檚 all the way out to the far east of Canada and people in Oregon and California and all over the States know about it,鈥 he said. 鈥淚t went viral. Over 1.5 million engagements on our page there, so. Yeah. Pretty crazy.鈥
