Jacqueline Frantová was a young Swiss urbanite when she first came to the Czech Republic in the mid-nineties. It was the “Wild East”, a place where anything could happen. Little did she suspect she would become a shepherdess. Today Jacqueline and her Bohemian family raise goats, sheep and cows in the Czech countryside.

A sheep is missing. But it should be OK. It won’t upset any neighbouring farmers because there are no crops growing at this time of the year.

Jacqueline Frantová and her husband Tomáš didn’t plan to become farmers. A friend gifted them their first kid shortly after their first child was born. This was in 1999, and the goat was a housewarming gift when they moved to a small village in the country.
