Goats

From Page1 A1

Vermont to take a cheesemaking class - he's already been once - to learn how to make hard Italian cheese from goat’s milk.

The sheep are raised mostly for wool - Barbara is a “fiber artist" who spins, knits, and weaves the wool they gather. King also sells some of the lambs for butchering.

It was curious to see the Llamas actually standing guard around the herds of both sheep and goats, and in the warm sunny afternoon of an early spring day this week, the kids really do bound about and play. If one gets too separated from momma, he or she cries out For her.

The lambs, on the other hand, just follow momma around or lounge in the sun.

In a touching aside. King pointed out another mother who had lost her kid, helping to nurse the five of the other mother.

King's chickens and geese are also productive. One g(x>se was sitting on 12 eggs, and the chickens lay about three to four dozen per day which he sells fresh to local B&Bs.

All of it is on a neatly kept farm on a hillside with a stunning view of Old Rag and the Blue Ridge behind.

King recently built a new turkey house and plans to raise more turkeys this year for'Hianksgiving and Christmas.

Early spring is lambing season, and. no joke, kidding season too. King said he breeds them in Novemlier so that when they are born, there is plenty of fresh green grass for them to eat.
