Goat farm and cows

Although this goat farm is not open to the public, I've visited a couple of times, and each time have been impressed by the place, which is near Kundang in Selangor. The farm was set up as a hobby but has turned into a thriving business for Mr Wong. As we approached, my first reaction was there were no goats, as there was no noise and no smell. But when we went upto the pens, the goats were indeed there. There can be up to 250 goats, and there are 3 types, from Australia.

One goat really caught my eye, it was a male or billy goat, but he had the most ridiculous "hair do". The top of his head was covered with white, soft curls that really looked like a hair piece, and gave him the appeareance of a poodle. If only he could look in the mirror....................

The pens are clean, and the goats are fed with natural food such as tofu fibre and nepia or horse grass which grows alongside the ponds.

The goats are reared for their milk, and of course for breeding. The milk is pasteurised and bottled, and some is used to make toiletries such as soap, shampoo and creams.
