Synopsis

A rollicking look at the bucolic life June Reedy never expected to have.The work, heartache, troubles, laughter, and joy all have their places here.There was frost on the cow patties....With humor and keen observations of human and animal nature, June Reedy shakes the feed bucket and the reader eagerly follows her along cliffs lined with baby goats, bottle-feeding adventures, ranching trials, breath-taking sunsets and aching bones as they meet llama and Great Pyrenees guardians, helpful neighbors, and the irascible La Cabana breakfast gang along the way. Goat Diary captures the essence of Hill Country living. It is more than the story of goat herding and cattle ranching-it is the story of the human spirit. This is an adventure readers of all ages will treasure for years to come...enjoy!Les Coalson, Award-winning Author, Helotes, TexasGoat Diary is the chronological account of the evolution of city slickers, retired, into Hill Country ranchers. The diary reveals the author's concern and respect for livestock, her growing delight in a new environment and her unfailing sense of humor. The capricious nature of weather, animals and the health of ranchers of a certain age make animal husbandry a special challenge. June Reedy addresses that challenge with style and grace. Ann McMullan, West Texas goat rancher, retired
