Fact: People love goats.
There have been a few informative and humorous stories written about Goat For Gold over the past day or so. I SO appreciate the people who are taking the time to write about these gorgeous horned and hooved creatures in their newspaper or on their websites. Let’s face it folks: I dare you to find a more graceful and elegant creature than the goat. Exactly. You can’t. Check out the “In The Media” section of the website to read the recent articles. When you see a headline that says “During The Olympics, Crazy Canadians To Collect Cloven-Hoofed Critters For Charity” you know it’s going to be a good read.

Thanks for helping spread the good word about goats! I recently took a goat to a church where the children had been donating their allowances to purchase a goat for a family in Africa. My goat, Jet, was there to make it all seem more real and so they could meet a goat and learn about them. Goats are my favorite animals, they are funny, playful, curious, affectionate, clever and social creatures (I call them monkeys with hooves). I have a herd of 30 goats that I keep purely as pets (some are rescues). They put life into perspective. One knows how to open stall doors, another likes to untie my shoelaces, unzip my jacket, pull off my mittens and untuck my shirt. They have managed to lock me in the chicken coop. Several will come to me simply for some affection. When I spend an evening in the barn after a rough day, they give me a sense of peace and joy.
