Sunflower Farm Creamery has long been the premier YouTube destination for people who love goats wearing sweaters (which should be ??? ??????? ???????? ?? ?????everyone). Now, as the internet grows increasingly panicked about coronavirus, the farm is providing a small oasis of calm with a pleasant daily goat video.
"What strange times we are in. My heart is with you all as we sort through this new normal for a while," wrote farm owner Hope Hall alongside the first video. "There is so little I can do to help all of you out there with the very real problems which are arising with this unprecedented situation, but I can share with you the one thing that makes me feel a lot better — time with the goats!"

The first video's silent final minute, for example, features two orange cats perching on a fence as snow falls gently around them — an extremely soothing sight.
