I have never seen anything like this before. I would like to know more about it. Is it specifically for goats, or are they just using it and it is for something else?
The tower was built in 1981 and it’s residents are well known around the winelands. These proud few represent the herd of more than 1000 does (female goats), who provide milk to their Vineyard Cheesery each day. Cyril Back brought the first goats to Fairview in 1980, with the aim of producing South Africa’s first goat’s milk cheeses. This aim was soon achieved and three decades later Fairview is firmly positioned as the market leader in the artisanal cheese category. While the majority of the production today uses Jersey cow’s milk, the Fairview herd remains an integral part of the farm’s activities and their more traditional lines.
This is awesome! I think I would be entertained for a while with these. 🙂

Now that’s unusual and fun. I love chevre and even worked for about a year at the Saturday farmer’s market near us helping sell it.
