Tracy DeVore, of The Pie Belle blog, had kids recently. Goat kids, of course.
P.S. Tracy makes a mean pie crust (and teaches classes in Plymouth, CA) and you may want to check out her recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheese Balls. No, I’m not kidding.
(Thanks, Carissa!)

I don’t know if this provides as much controversy as that whole Monsanto seed thing, but BBC news is referring to “genetically modified” goats at Utah State University in one of their recent stories.
The transplanted gene means the goat produces milk containing an extra protein, which is extracted and spun into spider silk thread.
Watch the goat spider video at the BBC.

[…] And then, Mark Sall, humor columnist from the Standard-Examiner weighed in and smelled a conspiracy that stems all the way from previous suspicious goat news. (Remember that story about spinning silk from goat milk?): […]
omigod im totaly in love with this website nearly peed my panties

Hmmm.. I can’t decide if “genetically modified” goats are cool or creepy.
If that man came near me with spider genes I would butt him into the next country.
Congrats on the new kids. They are very normal and non spidery
I’ve thought I’d seen ’bout every kinda farm critter there was but I’ve never even heard of a ‘spider goat’. Sound like some kinda super hero wall climbin’ goatie.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheese Balls….’just kill me now!!! I know this is somethin’ I’ve gotta try just to say I did. I’m freaky like that! heeehehehehe
God bless ya and have a fantabulous weekend sweetie!!! :o)
Spider goats — a wee bit freaky. Can their milk still be consumed by humans?
And chocolate chip cookie dough cheese balls??? I must see these. I think the the only thing that could make them sound better is adding bacon.
