Pastoor

(from Voice of the Farmer, Dec. 6, 2006)

Steve and Kate Pastoor set up a dairy goat operation in 2004 in the Watford area. At the end of 2006, they were milking 220 goats, had 130 does that were ready to kid and about 200 doelings (young female goats not yet ready to milk). This is a new industry and the demand is high for goat’s milk due to its nutritional value. The young couple was also included in the 2007 Faces of Farming calendar, produced by the Ontario Farm Animal Council.
