Nutrition

A healthy dairy goat can produce up to 16 cups of goat's milk a day. It's easier to digest than cow's milk and is an excellent source of calcium, protein, and other essential nutrients.

World Vision Fund

When you give to the World Vision Fund, you’ll help meet the needs of today and generations to come — showing Jesus’ love in some of the world’s toughest places, and going beyond quick fixes to provide comprehensive solutions with reliable access to basics like clean water, healthcare, education, and more.

Charley Pride Lyrics

"Poor Boy Like Me"

She grew up in the backwood country found her dreams in movie magazines
Now she's gone looking for her castle what chance is there for a poor boy like me
City lights oh you took my darling and the love that she promised me
After wine and big city parties what chance is there for a poor boy like me

Sold my house to Raverend Smith last Sunday left my farm with Abraham McGee
Had to go and rescue my darling from the life like your city folks lead
I found her dressed in fancy silks and satin spending money like it grew on trees
Living high in a big white mansion what chance is there for a poor boy like me
What chance is there for a poor boy like me
