Good parents always say they don’t play favorites, but Sir Francis Bacon (Bacon for short) is by far our favorite newest addition to the farm! He warms our hearts, makes us laugh and gives us a good excuse to go outside and play in sun. Here is a photo of him “kissing” my brother, Neil, and below that two videos of Bacon with my other brother, Kurt.

- Goats are becoming very popular back here as pets.
- Most people have to own one to understand how wonderful they are, yet don’t turn your back on them because they will get into trouble.
- The local Vet sees about 6 to 8 goats a day here.
- It was very nice to talk to you, love your products and the beautiful packaging.
