    Getting my first goat... maybe

    I've been wanting a dairy animal for awhile. I've gone back and forth between goats and cows. Cows have fewer fencing requirements, but produce way more milk than my family will consume.

    Pullet or cockerel?

    New hampshire red 3 weeks. I think it's a pullet but not sure. Silkie? Mix. 6-8 weeks. One has a slightly larger comb than the other and acts as bit cochise. I am 90% sure I have a brown leghorn cockerel. 2 roos would be okay, but prefer not more than that. Thanks!
