Pam,
Welcome to the group. I too am from MN. Sounds like you are enjoying
your farm life with your family. Aren't the goats fun?!! I am just
learning about farming now too and have learned a lot of things from this
list so far...take care and again, welcome, you will love the people here!
God bless, Julie
