Mrs. B...S. P. Abbey
In December last, Mrs. Abbey, of Roydon, Essex, owner of one of the premier herds of goats in England, and author of a useful text-book on goats, gave valuable advice in this broadcast series, which is planned to help the ' grow more food' campaign.
There are many good reasons for keeping goats, as she explained : they are easy to manage and milk ; they eat less and take up less room than cows ; and, most important of all, they are free of the restrictions of the Milk Marketing Board. You may sell the milk as you like.
Mrs. Abbey stressed the care goats need, discussed their housing and feeding, and compared different breeds. Today she will explore the subject further.
