Hazel the Goats Lifesaver for Tiny Jim in Wisconsin
In Holmen Wisconsin a miniature goat named Hazel helped save the life of Jim Trocinski, born six pounds four ounces, who over a year grew from twelve pounds to thirty seven. The family keeps a small herd of Toggenburg nannys and kids, uses goat milk for the infant, and plans to expand with artificial insemination from Tri-State Breeders. The article rebuts myths about goats, notes their cleanliness and gentleness, and highlights goat milk’s digestibility and dairy utility.
