The pigs socialize with each other, dig in the mud, and eat as much grass as they want.

The end result is enriched farm land, happy animals, and healthy, delicious meats.

Bryan, Texas | The Burows began raising dairy goats to supply fresh milk for the family. The herd started off with the purchase of two does and three kids. Soon the herd had grown to around fifty goats and they recognized that the girls would have to start earning their keep. So, a dairy facility was built and licensed to sell dairy products. The herd now numbers around ninety--that includes over fifty babies from this season's kidding. Currently twenty-four does are being milked. The goats browse on the native brush and are only fed a grain supplement twice a day at milking time. The goats are mostly Nubian and Nubian crosses, and produce a rich, nutritious, easy-to-digest milk.
