ive been asked to take in 2 goats (castrated male and a female) both dwarf(?) goats of 4 years old
now i have an empty field at the moment roughly 100m x 100m....sheep wire all the way round, then over that is chicken wire, but the height is only 1m in some places...the rest is 1,50m high. can they jump that height?
also looking for general basic care (what they eat, what they cant eat, what minerals etc they need, how often feet need trimming, worming times and what not..
i plan on doing some thourough research tonight whenthe kids are in bed but just looking for some peoples advice first while im flitting back and forth with my chores.
ive never kept goats, and never planned on keeping them, but this person is desperate to rehome them, asap, and theres no one else in the area really apart from me(!)
