The John de la Howe campus is home to a number of small ruminants. This term refers to small grazing mammals such as sheep and goats that traditionally have been raised for meat, milk, fiber, and skins. According to the University of Florida, goats and sheep were "among the first animals domesticated by humans and are more consumed than any other animals worldwide," though not as much in the United States as in other countries.

Our goat population on campus includes six "high percentage" boar nannies and one Texmaster billy. In 2024, eight kid goats were born, after nine were born in 2023.

Our sheep population includes one ram and five ewes, with three births in 2024 following two births in 2023.
