Just saying thank you

Hey, goat board folks. I just wanted to post a thank you. You have given me the opportunity to teach, learn, grow, and be a helpful influence in the goat world.

I treasure the positive feedback I get on my posts. Yes, I do work on giving you links and research and the best info I can find. And, you appreciate it!

We also, as a group, support and care for each other, whether it has to do with goats or other critters, or our own health and families.

I can't think of a better group of folks to belong to.

THANK YOU!

Alice

I learn something new everytime I'm on here. I don't have goats anymore, but I just can't seem to stay away. I like seeing how close everyone is here, seeing the babies and seeing how much folks are willing to help others.

^^ As said above, THANK YOU!

Thank YOU Alice! You have always been an inspiration, seeking out the science in everything, going above and beyond to give people facts. Through the years, you must have saved thousands of goats with your advice!

Very well said Alice
I think the best thing we can do is never stop learning. Never close your mind to another conclusion just because one way worked for you before...
Thank you for the great reminder! And Thank you

I think about where I was a year and a half ago when I got my first goats, and wow. My herd would be a big mess right now if I hadn't found this board. I still have a long way to go before I have my own commercial herd (which actually might happen in the coming years), but I just had a very reputable and experienced dairy farmer over on my property the other day, and he said, "wow, your goats look GREAT!" I have learned so much from all of you!

Thank you, too, Alice

And my goats are thankful to all of you, too. They just don't know it.
