GOAT
AUCTION
Saturday sure went to the
goats in St. Isidore de Clifton as
we attended–for the very first
time in our career–a goat auction
at “Fermi Chevrerie des
Beautes” located at 103 Perron
Rd. in St. Isidore de Clifton.
We arrived at around 11 a.m.
to find a herd of 93 Boer goats,
consisting of 60 goats in production, 20 kids, and 4 bucks consisting of 3 Boers and 1 Savana. This
herd was owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Gerard Pelletier, who have built
u p a very productive and clean
herd over the years.
The bidding went wild with
some selling close to $2000. The
barn was full of cute faces checking out the visitors. All were
trying to get their favorite goat
with the special breeding and
color to add to their herd. We
know nothing about goats, but
we do know we had a hard time
not buying one ourselves.

COMFORT COUNTRY
AT FARMERS MARKET
Comfort Country, comprised
of Suzan Shute, Joann Gilman,
Lee Baker, and Tim Berry, will
be singing in harmony, yodelling,
and playing guitar, mandolin,
and bass at the Lancaster Farmers’ Market this Saturday, June
11. They will perform some of the
favorites in the style of Alison
Krauss, Linda Rondstat, the
Louvin Brothers, and the Everly
Brothers.
All lifelong musicians, their
meeting at local jam sessions
brought together a wonderful
blend of country, traditional,
gospel, modern, and oldies. Joining together, they offer up good
times and fantastic music.
Lancaster Farmers’ Market is
located at Centennial Park, from
9 to noon. While enjoying the
music, stop by the booths of the
all local vendors selling home
grown food, hand made artisan
items, fresh baked goods, a raffle
where you can win a fantastic
collection of items from the market vendors, and so much more.
The market even accepts SNAP
benefits. All of this could not be
possible without the help of the
market’s local sponsors’ generous
support - The Center for Acupuncture, EXIT Realty, the
Mountain View Grand Resort
and Spa, and Lancaster Eye
Care. For more information,
email the market manager, Isaac
