Thanks for the ping, a cute story...Our first flock we bought was 18 Angora’s....you learn all you kneed to know in the first year, but books do help...I had never even seen an Angora when hubby decided thats what we would raise...an animal you didn’t have to slaughter...but you better know a professional shearer before you start with Angora’s. The only problem with dairy goats just as with dairy cows, they have to be milked daily...no days off for those raising dairy animals..... But goats are great animals to raise, easy for a female to take care of....GG

There are things I learned from having goats - more constantly comes out the back end than goes in the front end and they stink. Never again.
There are some things I’ve learned from raising chickens - they enjoy bomb diving at your head and they stink. Never again.

And it ate EVERYTHING within reach, except for the grass. It even ate the seat of the riding lawn mower.Shudda gotta sheep.
They are grazers: reach down to eat.
Goats are browsers: reach up to eat.

The idea took hold of me rather suddenly while I was...Yeah; it'll do that.
All my wife wanted was a couple of ducks!

Do your homework: If you are serious about keeping goats, study up. Yup; I learned AFTER they got home!
Quite a few, shall we say, 'interesting' things learned really quickly!

I'm sure there is at least one such school where someone's put on a program about that ~ probably at the beginning of school. Yale has done similar things.
I'm thinking a Google.com search for Yale Beastiality Wine Tasting will yield some fruits eh!~

Seriously, you should check with someone who keeps goats.
Goats require a de-wormer every month that also takes care of ticks and fleas and flies, and it's not cheap.
Check with a veterinarian before you buy a goat, for their health needs.

No; just a little bit of snow that needed some attention.

Thanks for

I'm not a caretaker of animal goats myself, but I love the cars.

We got about 3-4” of heavy wet snow over night.
I got the first slushy stuff off around 7:30.
Back out around 10:30 to get another inch and get the snow off the fabric gazbebo roof before it caved in like the last one we had.
And now that the sky is lightening; I’m going out to get the rest of it.
COVER ME! I’m goin’ in!

Love this climate change thing. Weather here has been quite nice. Around 20 degrees but makes 60 mid day.
