You may think of a desert when you hear "Yuma, Arizona," but a happy herd of healthy Boer goats would argue with you about that. Good News Farm is an oasis with singing birds, fountains, beautiful flowers and vines, and its very own field of alfalfa. Also playground equipment for goats. Colleen Scott and her daughter April Fair keep their goats in excellent condition and regularly win shows. By now they must have built a special little house to display all those ribbons and trophies.

We came to know Colleen and April many years ago when we went to a show on the Del Mar racetrack in California, and they are one of the reasons we have always been glad we went to that show. They have used 7A+ billies with their Boer goats since that time. First there was 7A+ Sackett who is best remembered as the "Marshmallow Monster." We bought him back from them when they could not use him any longer. Through the mail came a sack of marshmallows for Sackett. John innocently walked into Sackett's pen with the marshmallows. Sackett rushed at him with so much delight John threw the marshmallows at him and ran out of the pen.

The next billy was Louis L'Amour's Legend, then Painted Warrior. The next billy for their herd is running around here somewhere now. Colleen has a horsewoman's eye for confirmation so he better be good.
