Photo is some of the student that built the barn and pens the goats lived in right behind the school high school-- the La Mancha was State Fair Champion Doe. The Nubian had a doe kid that literally had the run of the whole school. The students toilet trained her-- she would beg to go out by pawing at what ever classroom she was currently visitng when she had to go. Every night and week ends students took her home with them. She was a bottle baby as her mom had tested positive for CAE, http://www.goatworld.com/articles/cae/cae.shtml and we didn't want her getting it from the milk. The other does were clear and the the nubian seperated from the other 'girls' and her doe kid "Georgia" replaced her mom in the herd. The herd became CAE free, and the kids loved that goat! All were register. Those animals were pet therapy to a lot of 'at risk' students. It really does work.
