Oh, sorry - I thought they were your goats. My husband has always loved goats and wanted some. So, I imagine if/when we move to a safe rural place, perhaps we can get some (provided they are self-supporting in some way, like providing milk...)

Yes I would love to have some goats here, if the park owner would let us have them. He’d have a lot less grass to mow, that’s for sure.

You should be able to find a good nubian goat that will give your 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 gallons each day.

Then you will want a second that is bred to fill in the months that the first one is kidding again.

And one to give milk to raise the calf and pigs on and then the leftover milk and whey can go to the poultry and with about one more goat, you can name your homestead the
“Cotton Ball Goat Homestead”.

And they will give you all the loving you can handle and if given the chance, will mother you too.
