Skitter and Big Mike are off on their new adventure!

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!

Mom said I had to start broadening my "herd coverage". It cannot be all me, all the time. I am still scratching my ear on that one.
