Do any of you sell or raise goats? I would like to get a few to eat the brush around the farm (about 4 1/2 of my 6 acres is nothing but tall grass, thickets, and "popcorn" trees). But I'm also curious about the milk. Do any of you drink it? How different is it from cow milk? How long will they produce milk after they give birth? And how often do they need to be milked to keep from "drying up"?

It's a lot of questions, I never like to jump into anything. I do have some goat experience, but we only kept weathers to eat brush, so I'm completely in the dark as far as milking them goes. Any help is appreciated

Try and get a less blurry picture, and I can probably give you a good idea on the color. I hatched saddlebacks, blues, whites, and splashes this year. Anything other that that is out of my experience!

I have 1 goat and I got him by accident. My neighbors couldn't care for him about 3 years ago and they knew that I take good care of my animals, so they asked if I would take him because they didn't want anyone to get him and kill him. So, the only experience that I have is with him. However, I did research milk goats and it is healthy but the healthiest milk of all is sheep milk. Goat milk rates #2 which is still great. I have had goat milk before and it is delicious. If it weren't so expensive, I would drink it on a daily basis. I have looked in to getting milk goats but it is too much work. They have to be milked daily which doesn't sound like alot but when you have a load of animals, it is almost impossible. The milk has a certain storage requirement to include being stored in glass containers.

There is A LOT of information that you should read about raising goats and milk. If you have a couple hours, you should goggle it and see what you find.

The old saying is, "If it doesn't hold water, it won't hold goats". And this is referring to a fence or a pen.
