The Goat Ladies

About The Goat Ladies

The wind has strong opinions in Rock River, a small railroad town out on the open plains of Albany County, where the Medicine Bow Mountains rise blue on the southwestern horizon. Summer up here is brief and bright; grass and weeds green up fast after the snowmelt, then race toward seed before the dry gusts of August. The Goat Ladies keep Rock River yards in hand, holding grass and weeds in check around homes and lots so nothing goes to tumbleweed. It is a name that makes people grin, and a neat, trimmed yard set against all that wide country gives them another reason to.
