Military Goats In the News
It's been a while since I've posted anything WRT a subject dear to a Mad Padre's heart, namely the military goat. This last Thursday, March 4, was St. David's day and in honour of the patron saint of Wales, the Second Battalion of The Royal Welsh Regiment paraded with their mascot Taffy, seen here.
