October 18, 2012 - Goats: What a Trip!
Here are some interesting facts about goats: the proper name for a group of goats is a "trip."
Goats were domesticated around 7000 B.C.
Goat Milk is alkaline and cow milk is acid. Goat milk is lower in cholesterol and higher in calcium and phosphorus, and digests in less than twenty
minutes; whereas cows milk can take almost a day to be digested. Got Goat Milk?
In the news: The Lookout Fire has been declared 100% contained. SBBA has rescued yet another vulnerable bee swarm, and a trip of goats are doing
their part keeping the chaparral thinned during this high fire season. Read these stories and more, below.
