Well, I’m reading it; and I have no anticipation to get a goat, OR drink the milk. But, I am interested in your experience. So, thanks for posting.
I had friends in MN who kept goats as a small business for a number of years. They live in an underground house, and the goats grazed on the roof! They finally gave it up because the work got to be too much. They sold the milk and had a customer list to keep up on, etc.
I can see how the goats make you laugh. They are my favorite exhibits at the County Fair. Do you provide toys for them> Around here, goats want to climb, and a lot of the farmers put apparatus in their pens. They always go right to the top to gaze around.
Neighbor dropped off some empty reels from the electric co-op.
They do love to climb..I’ve been surprised that they have stayed in so long without escaping. I didn’t realize how different they are from cows. Cows graze the grass..the goats WANT the weeds.
“Well, I’m reading it; and I have no anticipation to get a goat, OR drink the milk”.
Goats stink, so people think the milk must also stink. It does not. It is already homogenized and tastes great! Very creamy. Babies who can’t tolerate cow milk often do well on goat milk.
People in 4-H often will raise a calf on goats milk as the calf will NOT develop scours the way they will on their cow milk.
If you go to an arab forum to read about goats, you’ll get a completely new set of goat-judging criteria :).
