One goat farm in New Braunfels is finding ways to keep the heat from hurting its dairy business.

“We had one named flower, and then we had Petunia and Roses,” Robert Ragels, the owner of Goatilicious, said. “There was one year we had all Harry Potter names.”

“We have to make sure that they hydrate, make sure that everybody is healthy and get them through the hottest part of the day,” Ragels said. “We’re small enough where we can keep an eye on all the animals. If we were like a 5,000 animal dairy, we would have animals that would die.” But Gary Joiner, the director of communications of the Texas Farmer Bureau, said grass in Texas isn’t growing to keep up with the statewide farming industry.
