Our goats are herd tested free of CAE, CL, and Johne's Disease and are registered or come from registered stock.
Welcome
to my blog!
I am Lina Goatsmith. I am the mascot and goat ambassador at Teacher's Folly Farm. My adoptive parents are Cathy and Brian, but I run this place! It has been said I have "Linatude". I do most of the writing here, but sometimes I do allow others to be guest writers. Enjoy!
Below is a link to the "Rosie the Yoga Dog Blog". I never met Rosie, but she has definite 'Linatude'. Good stuff!
