Oh my gosh—goats! Since choosing to incorporate a small herd into the novel (in progress), I’ve become completely enamoured with the little scamps. My generous Facebook community has shared anecdotes and facts, many of which will colour the pages of my story. In one of my favourite research outings of all time, my husband Eric and I visited friends Candice and Ken at their farm in Northumberland County. They introduced us to their herd of Lamancha goats and talked about the basics of goat behaviour and care. Enjoy the photo story!
