Goats
Great Goats! Goats where my first choice following chickens for a homestead animal. I chose several Saanen does to start us out. What an adventure! We learned soooooooo much from the goats. We learned to milk for starters. We learned hoof care, coat care, how to build a decent fence. We learned how to assist in birthing. That was great for all of us. We learned how to give shots and to castrate and band horns. The fresh raw milk was just awesome!!!

The twice a day every day thing was a bit much for me. It was tough to pass them along. I know they are all receiving great care in their new homes but we still miss them.
