New Kids, Old Bugs, and Lots of Milk Keep Wootons Busy on Kaua'i Kunana Dairy in Hawaii

摘要

Bob and Louisa Wooton own and operate Kaua'i Kunana Dairy, Inc., the only licensed dairy on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. They milk 20 to 30 does and sell a variety of specialized goat milk cheeses, along with their sons Ryan and Troy, and daughter Sarah. Emma Bello calls from Oahu to say that she has noticed a few fleas on the last six kids that we sent her. I almost dropped the phone. "Are you sure?" I gasp in dismay. Yep, she says. "Emma, I will call you back later. I have got to go down to the kidbarn right now!" I practically fly from the house to the barn screaming no, no, no! The poor kids scatter as I bang the gate shut. Then I grab up one of the lighter colored ones and start checking the hair. No fleas on the first one. I grab his brotherwho is a pure white Saanen cross. I check his back, nothing, but when I turn him over, there it is... a flea. One after another I check the kids and see a few, not many, but a few is way too many. Awful memories begin to rush back.
