MATTAPOISETT — They’re not kidding when they say spring has arrived at Pine Meadow Alpacas.

Despite the name, alpacas aren’t the only attraction at the farm. This time of year, the baby goats grab a lot of attention as farm staff keep an eye on the heavily pregnant goats to determine which girl is ready to give birth.

“It’s how we determine it’s spring for us,’’ Diana Paine said.

She and her sister Lauren, father Jeff and mother Heidi own the farm, which has been operating since 2013 and features about 100 animals, from goats and sheep to exotics such as coatimundis and wallabies. 

As of April 18, three male kids had been born. Frosty the goat gave birth to one, and Maggie had two.

“We’re living in the land of the boys,’’ Diana Paine said with a laugh. 

The kids will soon be the center of popular attractions at the farm. 

For the second year, the farm will host goat cuddles. As the name implies, this activity allows visitors to snuggle with the new kids. 

As the kids age, they pass the more cuddly stage, Diana Paine said. 

Older goats are more independent and fit in well with goat yoga, allowing yoga enthusiasts to do their moves while the goats wander in and around them. 

Paint nights, which will allow people to paint an image of an animal while out among them, are also being planned, she said.

People enjoy these events, Lauren Paine said, because “it’s hard in this area to get hands-on with animals.’’

“Besides,” she said, “they’re so cute. Who wouldn’t want to hang out with goats?’’

The goats also benefit, she said. Interacting with people via yoga or cuddle events “gets them socialized,’’ she said.

Although the farm staff watches out for the mother goats as they are about to give birth, the moms generally do not need assistance.

The kids are on their feet almost immediately, exploring their surroundings and bleating often and enthusiastically.

“They’re just like babies,’’ Diana Paine said with a laugh. “They just scream to scream.’’

Goats also have “big personalities,’’ she said. They can learn their names and become attached to people. 

Within a year, the kids reach their full height, while it takes several years for them to fill out completely. 

Another attraction this spring is Pockets, a seven-month-old Bennetts wallaby.

He was the size of a jelly bean when he was born in September, Diana Paine said. 

This spring, he still spends much of his time in a hand-made pouch and requires bottle feedings, although he is starting to eat more solid food.

He is being kept in the farmhouse for now as he bottle feeds, but will be moved to his own outdoor enclosure this summer. Eventually, he will join the farm’s other adult wallaby in the barn.

Wallabies resemble kangaroos. Both move around by bouncing and carry their young, known as joeys, in pouches in their bodies.  But kangaroos are much larger and taller.

Pockets has become one of the farm’s animal ambassadors, along with a porcupine and coatimundi, a relative of the raccoon that is native to South America, Central America, Mexico and the southwestern United States. 

Farm staff bring these animals to nursing homes, schools and other locations where people can learn about the creatures. 

The aim, Diana Paine said, is to mix “the enjoyment of being around the animals’’ and the importance of learning more about them and the natural world. 

The farm’s menagerie includes familiar animals such as ponies and donkeys to rarely seen animals, including Arapawa goats, one of the rarest goats in the world, and the also unusual San Clemente Island goats.

They have no immediate plans for expansion, Diana Paine said. 

“We’re pretty content with what we have now,” she said.
