Santa Rosa Ca. ~ Goatlandia started after its founder, Debo- rah Blum, moved from San Francisco to NW Santa Rosa. A former commercial


pilot


and restaurant owner, Deborah gave up the city life and has devoted herself to the belief that all beings deserve to be


happy, and to live free of harm and fear. The newly acquired acreage enabled her to have space for a few chickens and a couple of goats. One thing led to another - her love of farm animals grew, as did her furry and feathered family. Almost all of animals were destined for


and very loved (and a little spoiled). Today Goatlandia is home to 14 goats, 5 pigs, 29 chickens, 2 dogs and one happy and busy human. They are in the process of get- ting their 501c3 sta- tus, and excited about that! We look forward to our future growth, and to expanding our property, our services and our family.


Come on over!

“T e scientifi c method is


nothing more than a system of rules to keep us from lying to each


other.” Ken Norris


Three bulls heard the ranch- er was bringing another bull onto the ranch. First Bull: “I’ve been here fi ve years. I’m not giving this new bull any of my 100 cows.” Second Bull: “I’ve been here three years and have earned my right to 50 cows. I’m keeping all my cows.” Third Bull: “I’ve only been here a year, and so far, you guys have only let me have 10 cows. I may not be as big as you fellows, but I’m keep- ing all 10 of my cows.” Just then an 18-wheeler pulls up in the pasture carry- ing the biggest bull they’ve ever seen. At 4,700 pounds, each step he takes strains the steel ramp.


First Bull: “I think I can spare a few cows for our new friend.” Second Bull: “I actually have too many cows to take care of. I can spare a few. I’m certainly not looking for an argument.”


They look over at the third bull and fi nd him pawing the dirt, shaking his horns and snorting.


First Bull: “Son, don’t be foolish -- let him have some of your cows and live to tell about it.”


Third Bull: “Heck, he can have all my cows. I’m just making sure he knows I’m a bull.”
