The Three Faces of Pippi - Bliss
Pippi’s mother is a Swiss Angora and her father is a Turkish milk goat. Here she is blissfully enjoying the sunshine on a late summer day after snacking on Angelica which grows wild on the balds and is one the goat’s favorite foods.
Pippi is one of a herd of Angora goats on the Highlands near the Appalachian Trail which runs along the Tennessee / North Carolina border. She is a 2014 addition to The Goats of Roan series.
The goats spend the summer on the mountain balds at 5700-5800’ in elevation as part of the Baa-tany Goat project. The 10-year project began in 2008 in an attempt to restore the Grassy and Alder Balds using goats as an experimental management tool.
