The San Clemente Island Goat originally came from off the coast of California where they had become so invasive that the government started an eradication program in the late 1970s. Today less than a thousand of these goats are found in small herds around the US and Canada. In this episode I'm talking to Erin Link, who raises them and helped to start the new breeders association. In addition to having a goat meat CSA, Erin also milks her goats and sells goat milk soap to raise awareness about the breed. 5:30 making soap 7:15 milk production 15:00 size of the goats 17:00 selling goat meat through a CSA 20:18 history of the breed 23:00 San Clemente Island Goat Breeders Association 26:00 registering goats CIG Breeders Association website SCIG Breeders Facebook page SCIG Breeders Association Facebook page EB Ranch LLC website EB Ranch LLC Facebook page EB Ranch LLC Instagram
