I only want to write about “Baby” today

If you want to read about her birth

And the obstacles she and her mother, Wisp, overcame you can find out about this in “Jews Milk Goats” pages 116 onwards

Goats have, after several years before they joined us at The Gables, come to dominate our daily routine.

Milking, cheesemaking, grooming, trimming their hooves, annual testing for CAE (and the trauma that led to one year – all in the book), finding them mates and welcoming their offspring. The rewards are intelligent, domesticated animals who bring us great joy as well as some sadness. That’s life. Farewell “Baby”.
