Before entering the petting zoo, staff members handed each guest two or three slices of Wonder Bread. Once outside, you’re allowed into some of the pens, so there’s no fence between you and the animals. Most goats came up and started chewing on my clothes and climbing up my legs, trying to reach the bread. This little cutie would walk up calmly, stand a couple feet away, and politely ask with this look.
