Shepherdess Star

Friday, January 15, 2010

Vera Farmiga, actress and co-star of Up In The Air with George Clooney, prefers to talk about her goats rather than her career says Times Online in a recent article.

While discussing her acting career, Farmiga relates the unfortunate tale of spoiled goat semen resulting from some impromptu dancing in the smoke effects caused by frozen semen thawing. Her search for the best semen in the country to breed her herd of Angora and Nubian goats was to no avail when the semen became too warm and was lost.

However, we’re pleased to have a fan of goats in the public eye and we wish her luck in breeding her girls. Remember, Vera, inseminate now, dance later.
