You will find that 5 acres is all you can take care of and more, with room for a goat on it.

Last night I related your stories of having hogs as well as goats. I think I'm going to get a hog or two now also. LOL - YOU are helping me get exactly the things I want.

Why do I think you are using me.......I am laughing.

Of course, once you get all that goat milk, you should get a calf and raise it on the goat milk, it will be healthier.

And lambs like goat milk, as do the ducks and geese and chickens.

And like the greenhouse, the goat herd grows and soon, there are more than you can milk.

Be careful about the size of the teats, I like a big old goat with a big bag and big teats.

My hand is large, I am a large boned person, and I have had arthritis in them most of my life.

A goat with a cute ‘win at the fair’ bag and small teats, would really cause me pain.

Bill had small hands and rarely milked, that was the deal I had to make, in order to get the goats and cow. But when he did it did hurt him, even in his sleep, he would be trying to work the pain out of his hands.

Some women want fur and diamonds, I want a blank check at the nursery and a few pets, so what if my pets are goats, hogs and cows.

Smile.
