NORTH STONINGTON — Standing on a stanchion at the 53rd North Stonington Agricultural Fair Saturday, Bambi, a 3-year-old Nigerian Dwarf goat, was not in the mood to be milked. Her human family — Michelle Lyon, and her daughter, Nevaeh, of Kingdom Kids Family Farm in Killingly — were doing their best to soothe her with food and soft words. Michelle and her business partner, Sue Barry, who owns Misty Highland Farm in Dayville, make and sells goat milk soap under the Sparrow Soaps label. “We milk them at nighttime and the farm does the morning.”Training cattle for competition takes time, patience and persistence, Olivia Myers said. “Me and my sister, our farm name is grumpy girls because that was the name from my sister’s first cow,” she laughed.
