Description
"Brooklyn, Wis. -- In March 1989, Susan Waterman, 42, decided she was tired of toxic chemicals, radioactivity and the pressure of her positions in the botany and plant pathology departments at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
"So she resigned to raise Angora goats full time. A year later, she has no regrets.
"Waterman, 42, actually had her Angora goat operations under way before she dove into it full time. When she and her husband, Clark, purchased a 25-acre farm in Green County four years ago, they brought with them a few goats they had raised on a small farm on the south edge of Madison. Their herd has expanded to 54 animals, including 30 does, or breeding females.
"'Getting into this on a full-time basis was a long-established goal -- the only question was when,' Waterman said. 'The opportunity and timing were pretty good a year ago, based on Clark's business.' Clark Waterman makes stained-glass pieces on a commission basis, mostly for residential and corporate clients in Chicago. His business is known as Glass Images."
