Here is humorus little article I ran into that I thought I`d Cher with you all. It`s an online ABC Eyewitness News story out of the Durham-Raleigh-Fayetteville areas. There is this Celebrity Dairy Goat Farm that makes cheese and they name their goats after celebrities. Well, I`m sure you`re ahead of me on this one! Yup, CHER is one of the celebrities! ;D
Where to Find Cheese by Cher (and Other 'Celebrities')
By Don Ross
The Celebrity Dairy Goat Farm off Mt. Vernon Road in Chatham County is celebrated by local gourmets for its quality cheese.

In fitting with their stellar performance, the goats there are named after celebrities. Reba Mcintyre, Madonna and Cher were giving their all in the milk barn one day we visited.
Owner Fleming Pfann told us that "it's about a year before we really name them. By that time they've developed some personality."
The months of February and March are when goats have their babies... their "kids." Cher, Wannona and Vanna White looked especially pregnant. About 130 new kids will be on the block soon, accompanied, of course, by a grand flow of cheese making milk.
The kidding season is also a grand time to check into the Inn, the bed-and-breakfast side-business at The Celebrity Dairy Goat Farm.
The owners have updated and added onto a 100 year old farmhouse. The living room is a 200 year old log cabin.
The hearty breakfasts and gourmet Sunday dinners are reason enough to visit, according to Ellen Brooks and Tim O'Neill. They've stayed here four times.
"Everyday it's something different and they're so creative in the kitchen," says Ellen. "I'm going to take breakfast lessons."
"But there's always some kind of goat cheese," adds Tim.
Visitors are welcome to help with the farm chores or do nothing or just take in the scenery and serenity.
John Bonitz manages the Inn: "We have 300 acres with miles of trails for hiking. We also give tours through the dairy to show folks how we make cheese."
Be active... or just lay-back in romantic, quiet country comfort.
During their stay last December, Tim asked Ellen to marry him. "We like to bill ourselves as 'Dharma and Greg: The later years'."
Dharma.
Good name for a goat.
