Zoey’s Coat now sits on a shelf in the milking Parlor. Over the past few years she wore it to help her get through Montana’s winter and the cold nights of spring.

On Friday, May 3 around 6 p.m. I made the decision, along with my veterinarian, Dr. Rollet Pryun, to end Zoey’s life.

Caution: Goats on road.
Sam Manno

For years now I have said jokingly, “a sick goat is a well behaved goat." Well the joke is on me.

To date some of the goats have managed to thwart my attempts to keep them in their pasture and safe.  To them the grass is greener not only on the other side of the fence but especially along the road.

Since they apparently believe, "the grass is greener" and "tastier" on the other side, I installed a sign warning the UPS driver, dog walkers and others passing.
