. . . BLEATS THE HECK OUT OF ME!

Why Are There Pygmy Goats In Downtown Bay City?

August 14, 2003
By: O. J. Cunningham

When Kellie Daniels' family came to pick her up from work on Thursday afternoon, did they ever have a surprise for her!

Husband Brent Daniels not only brought the kids (Ali and Derek) but he and the youngsters also brought another pair of "kids' - a pair of two-month old pygmy goats.

Kellie Daniels, a Title Examiner for Metropolitan Title (509 Center Avenue) in Bay City was expecting the family . . . but not the young goats.

The baby goats, born on June 20th, bleated up a storm as workers from all the Center Avenue offices gathered to admire the cute baby animals.

The animals will become family pets during the next year and will then be entered in competition at the 2004 Arenac County Fair next July.
