Breeders Praise Humble Nanny
It takes a goat to end the milk bill worry. Goat breeders at the recent Sydney Show are emphatic on this point. A doe, costing from two to four shillings a week to feed, would yield about two quarts of rich milk ,a day, they declared. “A goat is the working man’s friend,” said the president of the Milch Goat Society (Mr W. M. Reid, of Springwood). “They are intelligent animals, and they become the biggest pets in the world,” said Mr P. H. Korseh, goat breeder, from Hermidale, west of Nyngan. “They will follow you round like a dog, and the children can play. with them. They keep the grass down, too.” Mr Korseh added that anyone who had enough room to keep fowls could keep a goat. Vegetables, scraps, and a little chafT. bran, and lucerne hay comprised their diet.
