2009 New Letter Page 1

January 2009 Niagara Frontier Dairy Goat Association News letter www.geocities.com/nysdgba


This is our first time working on our goat club newsletter. This is a very big adventure that we are pleased to undertake. I would like to introduce myself and my wonderful family. We are Teacup Farm in Barker, NY. The family members in this family that are involved are Tim, Liz, Jessica, Kassy, and Reggie Neadow. My grown children Nicholas and Amy who farm sit for me. My soon to be daughter-in-law Lindsay Haefner will also be showing goats with us in 2009. My daughters have shown goats for a few years. We raise LaMancha and Nubian goats. We love our goats and enjoy farm life. We also raise purebred Brown Swiss dairy cows and are very involved in Niagara County 4-H. We also have lots of rabbits, poultry and raise our own beef and pork. Since 2007 we have held a NYS permit to sell raw milk for both cows and goats. The only Legal source of goats milk in Niagara County. Check out our website at teacupfarm.com. I would love to feature one family each newsletter if you are willing to share - please send your info to neadow7@msn.com
