These are Ayla's blueberry bombs! Make yourself a jam or preserve from your blueberries and double wrap two tablespoons of jam in puff pastry squares, finish with an eggwash, bake until golden and BAM, you have a delicious blueberry treat :). This method is not limited to any type of jam; you can do this with whatever jam or preserve you enjoy.

Dr. Ken McMillin is a well recognized meat scientist and a professor at Louisiana State University. Ken, Frank and myself were in Baton Rouge when this photo was taken in preparation for the publication of the Meat Goat Guide. Dr. McMillin is a strong proponent of science based agriculture and is a knowledgeable mentor who echoes the crying need for better data in assessing the production potential of your herd as well as the viability of the meat goat industry. Like Frank, Ken has advised NASA as we continue to promote the commercialization process with meat goats.

I took this photo of Dr. Pinkerton while we were at the Mincey goat farm in 2010. Kenneth Mincey was multiplying his new Australian derived Savannah genetics through the embryo transplant process. The Goat Rancher that Frank is reading has Kenneth Mincey on the front page as he was dispersing his Kiko herd. We all enjoyed the symbolic nature of this photo as Kenneth invested in the Savannah breed. Like myself, Kenneth believed in the breed and its future in North American production agriculture.

My first career was a dairy herdsman. This created my bias towards performance testing in professional livestock breeding. This experience also created an instant friendship with Dr. Frank Pinkerton, the Goat Man; since his background was with dairy cattle as well. We met in 1993 while introducing Boer goat genetics to North America and have been close friends since that time. A fond hope; that we believe in passionately, is the need for the meat goat industry to embrace performance testing just as the dairy industry did many years ago.
