How One Mother Solved
A Problem With a Goat
«
There’s nobody quite like people. . . .
The Bert Nyes are a rollicking, resourceful family.
■ whose home is known as Dogwood, an acreage near McLean,
' rampant with kids, cats, dogs and goats.
Bobby Nye, the pixie-sized mother, had her first
J goatribulations when son Toby was 2 years old. Toby
< hadn’t gained an ounce in a
< year, while his brother Bob,
■ 14 months, was hospitalized
I for indigestion.
“Why not try goat’s milk?’’
< Bobby asked her pediatrician
> in sheer desperation.
The doctor was skeptical.
“For one thing, it’s scarce.
You can’t get it except as
: surplus from private owners.
And you have to be very
■ careful of contamination.”
So the Nyes decided to get
some goats of their own.
Finding a chocolate brown
one that resembled Bambi,
they bought her for $l5. And
for another $5 they got her
kid, a ratty looking offspring,
for cleaning up the lawn.

the maid allowed as how
she’d milked a cow once.
Between them they per
suaded the reluctant Bambi
to give up about a pint of
what was literally to become
the elixir of life to the chil
dren. Breathless but trium
phant, Bobby called the doc
tor, asking, “Now what do
I do?"
“Put the youngsters on
whole goat’s milk for three
days,” she was advised. The
experiment was so successful
Toby gained. 5 pounds in
two months. Bob, too, was
able to leave the hospital and
began to thrive. Now both
are strapping young huskies
of 21 and 19, and both guzzle
goat’s milk by the gallon. In
fact, neither can imagine be
ing without it for a day.
This Green Book
Requires Goatees...
Deciding that a high
producing, registered goat
wouldn’t eat any more than
an ordinary nanny, the Nyes
began shopping for goats by
mail. They wrote all over
the country, avidly studied
many a goat’s biography, and
finally ordered Dora, a Ver
mont goat who’d been reared
in the woods and never eaten
grain. She had such a
dazzling pedigree she seemed
a real bargain at $25.
Dora, then only a baby,
grew up to become the matri
arch of what is now the
champion Dogwood Herd.
Some of Dora’s offspring
and near-relatives have been:
Duchess, Delicious, Darling,
Dauphine, Dynamite, Delight,
