A farm in Esmont, Virginia is actually searching for animal lovers who simply want to spend their time cuddling some adorable baby goats.

Caromont Farm, in Albemarle County, expects around 90 baby goats, or kids, will be born by mid-February, reports NBC29.com.
The farmers make goat cheeses, so 24 hours after the kids are born, the farm starts bottle feeding the babies and milking the mothers. The baby goats need to stay warm and be fed four times a day.
No prior experience is required, though the farm does note that this is an ideal volunteer position for anyone with “lots of love to give”. Although all volunteering slots have now been filled, you can visit the Caromont Farm and become the first to find out when more opportunities become available. The goats are also separated by size and kept in heated pens. They even get small sweaters to wear.

If you think your cuddling skills are up to par, Caromont Farms has a sign-up sheet online where people can volunteer for four-hour shifts from early February through March.
