Hello, all!
So we are thinking of getting two goats for their milk -- we make homemade soap and would also possibly like to make our own goat cheese.
What kind of goat would be best for us?
Also, we were planning on de-horning them (we want to get young ones), but then I read that it is not always a good thing to de-horn b/c it messes up their thermoregulation. So in the summer, the horns keep them cooler from the sun, but if they don't have horns they can over heat. We live in Florida so it gets VERY hot here over the summer.
Can anyone please help me with this?
Thank you!
