Just avoid lambing sheep!

Just avoid pregnant ewes, otherwise fine

Stay away from newborn lambs and kids, or ewes and does giving birth, as they can carry toxoplasmosis. By this time of year lambing season will be pretty much over anyway. Also, make sure you wash your hands, as all animals/muck can give you listeria or other tummy bugs. Basically, be sensible, follow any advice signs (if it's a visitor farm there should be warnings all over the place!) and be overzealous with your hygiene. You should be fine :)

Same goes for goats/kids.

We went to a farm park not long ago and they had very clear info on what I could and couldn't do (essentially boiled down to no touching sheep/lambs, goats/kids and being very careful about touching soil anywhere) and hand washing stations throughout. Bring hand gel to be on the safe side.
