Quincy the Show Goat

BEST PET PALS

- Cynthia McBride

A FEW YEARS AGO, I was leaving the dog kennel where I worked only to find a baby goat at the end of the driveway. The kennel’s owners are known animal rescuers, and I figured someone dumped him over the fence. The kid was visibly nervous but stood perfectly still as I approached.

I’m an animal lover and I’ve brought home dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and fish, but never a goat. The tiny kid was too adorable to resist. I named him Quincy, and with the help of some experienced friends, bottle-fed him in my bathroom.
