In August 2010, during my visit to yogjakarta Indonesia, I
received a call from my brother in law saying that his friend wanted to sell a
herd of goats. Its doesn't take me long to say yes because first, I like
animals and second, its costly making oversea calls. This goat herds consist of
2 bucks, 20 does and 4 kids. The price was only RM7,000 (USD 2,400)
After 2 years, we have about 50 goats, (I couldn't remember how
many bucks, does and kids we have.) But after "the boa" incident we
only managed to save 37 of them.
