Quoted: Quoted: I hate goats.  Goats are the perfect SHTF item. I don't care, I was around them enough as a kid that I have developed a hatred for goats.  Quoted: The wife unit already knows that we WILL have goats at the next house to use for milk, cheese and meat as well as keeping the grass trimmed so I dont have to mow it Uh, okay....have fun. |

My wife would have been violently opposed to the idea when we first got started. However, we have a young buck that has been nothing but trouble. He often jumps fences, and is generally unpleasant. I mentioned I was thinking about butchering him if I couldn't find a buyer. To my amazement, she was not only ok with the plan, but she wants to be involved in the butchering process. |

Quoted: Quoted: i think people with goats need to post pics once a week to keep my goals in sight  also what kind of feed are you feeding them? anything special goats need?I don't have pics, but I have a streaming cam of their stall. During the day they are usually outside, but around 6pm or so they come in for the night. http://sgtnam.camstreams.com/ Just saw you on cam NAM. Your goats sure make a fuss when they're hungry. Funny how the brown one would hop past the camera on two legs. |

That was my pet pig Zoe. Had to shoot her when she attacked one of the kids. |

Lol....half the time I forget it's still there, or that anyone watches. Yeah... they sure go nuts when it's food time. They're getting a little chubby though, so we're cutting back on the grain a bit. Usually feed around 5:30pm-6pm or so. |
