'If everyone had an hour of goat therapy it would be a kinder world': The benefits of 'Goat Therapy'

 

VERNON, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Heleene Green's love of goats is apparent from the moment you meet her. The Waukesha County woman has cared for the animals most of her life, and gleefully embraced the moniker 'goat girl' at an early age.

As 1982's Wisconsin Dairy Goat Queen, Green has long preached the benefits of spending time caring for the farm animals as means of stress reduction.

On CBS 58 Sunday Morning, Michael Schlesinger visited her small farm in the town of Vernon to learn more about her regular 'goat therapy' sessions that have become quite popular.
