Goat Thread!

That’s awesome!! Good to know I wouldn’t necessarily need a boer either hahah so you don’t milk yours? That seemed like a lot of work to me lol

No. This will sound silly, but the thought of them being violated by a big ol' stinky buck was too much for me.

I always joke I would get fired if my goats were hired to clear brush! I must feed them to well as they don't want to eat anything other then what I give them! Guess I will be cutting back the blackberries myself!

I've heard some goats can be super picky. I give mine hay before turning out to pasture, but they waaay prefer foraging. My girls just aren't very picky at all. Especially Cricket. She'll eat ANYTHING!

OMG - love their names! I think we have similar tastes in music!

Cool! Dream Theater fan? Some of my family members are. I am into other progressive metal bands.
We were originally going to name James Troy to continue the "Tr" names, but then we noticed he "sang" just like James LaBrie!

Nubians keep brush down too. They killed many of our invasive honeysuckles. But I like to say goats are like antibiotics - they kill everything, the good stuff and the bad...except they don't eat a lot of the bad stuff, like creeping charlie or goutweed which chokes out the good stuff...

If you really want to keep a yard down switching between goats and sheep with make a huge difference. Goats don't really eat what you want them to eat, mine seem to eat almost nothing but blackberry plants and grape vines
