VanSetten raises South African Boer and South African
Savanna goats because she likes their temperaments and
build. She says she uses the goat income to supplement
her family's barley farm income, and names them all "Bob"
so she doesn't get too attached to sell them each year.

VanSetten's Boer goats began
kidding over Memorial Day
weekend. She often supplements
triplet kids with bottle feeding
multiple times a day. VanSetten
says she prefers late spring
kidding because the weather is
nicer than kidding in January and
it is not as hard on the goats.
