Kathy and Tim Peters baby goats – four of them were born Monday – will be nice and cozy in tonight’s cold snap, thanks to people’s generosity and concern. With the cold weather upcoming, Kathy earlier this week posted a request for small-dog coats on Celebrate Cooperstown, and the response quickly filled the need. “I’ve already gotten eight coats donated and there are more for the asking if I need them, but eight is good for me,” the Schuyler Lake farmer said, adding “thank you, thank you, thank you!” The photo shows two of the goats warmly wrapped.
