The sun is shining, the snow is melting, and the bees are buzzing. That’s right, spring is finally upon us! Here at culture there is so much we look forward to about this time of year: chilled rosé, warmer weather, and, of course, fresh goat cheese! And while we like to kid around all year long, spring is actually kidding season. This means that female goats are beginning their lactation cycles and thus commencing the season of fresh cheesemaking!
The arrival of spring also means our Instagram feed is flooded with pictures of baby goats – and we’re not mad about it. To kickstart kidding season, we’ve corralled some of our favorites for your goat-viewing pleasure. Happy spring, cheese lovers!

Wait, these aren’t no scallywag mutton-eers! Someone get those goats back to safety.
Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it. Vogue.
