My daughter in law’s grandparents raised goats for years.
My great grandmother raised goats and that’s where I learned how to milk them.
My ulcers thank goats milk
They’ll eat through the thorniest brush there is and when it’s gone they’ll start on the bark on the trees., so you have to either have to feed them or move them.
It’s just the way they are, God bless them.

Pretty much like dogs. Wayne absolutely adores me. He screams at me when he sees me outside and immediately comes to hang out with me.

The one thing I'm having an issue with is that they love going into the field next door instead of my 6 acres worth of pasture. Thankfully, my neighbor doesn't mind my goats coming over.

LOL

I love that derpy face she is making.

Funny enough... some of these goats, well... their babies, gonna get eaten. I, though, wouldn't make soup out of their head. Especially with all the fur still on it.

I've never eaten any Goat but I did have some Lamb Chops last night. Don't know it the meat is similar or not.

The flavor and consistency, to me, lies somewhere between beef and deer. I really don't understand it's lack of popularity in the US as it is one of the most commonly eaten meats in the world.

Not only that but they take 2/3 of the feed to produce as much meat as cows do. The breed I raise (Fainting Goats) even more so as it has the highest meat to bone/organ ratio of all goats.

Goats destroy everything.

Added another 5 goats to the herd today. Poppy and Penelope are still babies and won't be ready for Wayne for another few months. Fern, Maggie and Tulip are all just over 2 years old and have been exposed to a male goat. We are fairly certain that Fern and Tulip are pregnant and Maggie may be as well but isn't really showing it. If she is... its probably gonna be a single.

I feel like I got a really good deal on these as I may be very well be getting 8-10 registered goats for the price of 5.

Their names will change to be brought in line with my Letterkenny naming structure.

A new first for me... banded my first buckling today. Here are the glamour shots.

Helped grampa do it with calves when I was a kid
He wanted to do it to me but granny didn’t let him
sec

I think that is worse than getting a bug bite.

A requirement of VoAg I was going to a school board members farm and banding his calves and lambs.

BABIES!!!

The black one on the right is a girl and her name is T'Pol (to keep with the Star Trek naming structure). The one on the left is a boy and his name likely foretells his future. He is called Panini.
