17-year-old Carter grew up on a farm in between Grand Junction and Palisade. He s a senior at Palisade High School and is taking concurrent classes at Colorado Mesa University. Carter s family has always had goats since he was a little kid. He s grown up helping out with dairy products and has spent a lot of time around goats, horses, rabbits, and chickens.
He saw someone on YouTube taking their goats out on hikes and camping and got an idea to try to do the same. His parents wouldn t let him get another dog, his current one is a Boston Terrier who he wouldn t be able to handle the altitude, so went with a goat instead. Carter s mom knows a ton about goats and picked one who was born on the property is very sweet.
