Clover


Here is Clover! Clover is an 11-week old Toggenburg. I wanted a Toggenburg because Carl Sandburg's wife, Paula, kept them for years. She became an internationally recognized dairy goat breeder; and one of her Toggenburgs, Jennifer II, broke the World Toggenburg record for milk production when she produced 5,750 pounds of milk in one year! I don't dare dream that Clover might ever get anywhere near that notariety - honestly, I'd be happy if I can get her to milking any amount! Clover is a friendly, warm, sweet, and playful little girl. She eats her grain one morsel at a time - never in a hurry. Her favorite thing to do is play on the overturned plastic chair in her yard.
