Hi folks and a Happy Mothers Day to all,
I wanted to let you know that I've been working on something new things to augment GoatWorld. I've finally activated Goat411.com that will be used primarily for archiving information such as the messages we post here. The actual "Google" search form that is presently set up on the site should be active very soon (once Google registers the pages on the site), but for the time being, I am going to set up a simple search engine so people can find the archived messages or information they are looking for. This new set up will help greatly by reducing the amount of space used on GoatWorld itself. I will also be changing the "search archives" link at the top of the Message Forum to reflect this change as well.
A few days ago, I made a request for volunteers and such and a few of you responded. I'm sorry I have not gotten back to each of you individually, but basically what would help the most (in particular if you feel that you lack computer skills), is adding useful articles and links as you find them - directly to the Message Forum. I used to try and add a few of the news articles that are on the GoatWorld front page, but haven't done so in a while. If any of you are interested in doing that, I'm sure it would be useful for all the others as well. Then as they become "past news" I can archive them and save them for our future reference.
The USDA-ARS (Agricultural Research Service) also offers a number of good articles from time to time that help keep us all up to date on the various issues affecting goats and livestock. I have their link on nearly every GoatWorld page.
On a personal note - my poor goats are longing for the sun. It's been raining like crazy here this month and they pretty much stay in their shelters. But thankfully no casualties as of yet. Matter of fact, I think after I get done writing this I am going to go out and surprise them with a late night visit. That always gets them giving me that "you're crazy to be out here in this weather look".
Hope everyone is having a great evening.
Best regards,
Gary
