Tammy: Okay. I just talked to a breeder who said that she had a woman that planned to take hers back on the plane.

Russ: Mm-hmm. It’s been known to happen. It hasn’t happened to me, but it’s been known to happen. The North Carolina people put it in the car.

Tammy: Yeah she said that she planned to take it like into the cabin, into the passenger area, so that’s a good thing. Well thank you very much.
Tammy: Okay. Hi everybody. This is Lauva Currier and she is the owner of Lauva’s Pygmy Cuties in Seguin, Texas, which is in South Texas and pretty close to me. Anyway, we’re going to talk about pygmy goats today and we were just talking about how Lauva got started in pygmy goats and how long ago was that?

Lauva: It’s been three years now.

Tammy: Okay. And you saw a brochure I understand.

Lauva: We originally bought 50 acres, it was unimproved property and we needed to do something to get our ag valuation, so I went to the Internet and I started to do some research as to what type of animals that would work for us to use for that. There was a couple of different things that I found on the Internet. One was a brochure that was from the Texas Agriculture Extension Service and it’s called Livestock For Small Acreage Landowners and they give the pros and cons of raising calves, goats, sheep, and part of that in there had a description and it did talk about pygmy goats and I found that to be interesting and I then decided to go to the National Pygmy Goat Association web site and do some research as to what they look like and what their breed standards were so I would know a little bit more about it.
