Natalie and Brooks are pets -- not just goats. They're together because Natalie has been sold and her new owner wants her bred before she moves to her new home. Normally I wouldn't do this but Natalie's new family is well versed in goats and knowledgeable with goat birthing. I'm comfortable that Natalie will be …
Cody Struck a Pose

Or else fix it yourself. 🙂 I"ll also be using Dr. Andrew Weil's cookbook The Healthy Kitchen. His philosophy fits within my …
