All the Goat News Fit to Print: March Edition

Now that Spring has thought about springing here in upstate NY, time to start thinking about fun things - like Goats Goats Goats!


  1. Life Too Quiet in Winter? Try Farming! - article from Martha's Vineyard Gazette about the farming community getting fired up for spring. And summer. And fall. Doesn't seem like we have any down time...
  2. F.D.A. Approves Drug From Gene-Altered Goats - NYT article about genetically modified goats that express a human blood protein in their milk. Just milk 'em and then centrifuge the milk to remove the new pharmaceutical. Wow.
  3. An Interview with the World's Best Weedwhacker - An older Mother Earth News article, up close and personal with a caprine challenger. C'mon, that's cute. You know you want to read that. And it's short.
  4. Are You Ready to be a Livestock Addict? - HobbyFarms article that has some nice considertations for the beginner but also some great species-by-species breakdowns of pros and cons. And maybe even making money!
  5. New Hope for Attracting Large Animal Vets - help save our animal food production!
