Like with Buckshot?

Out of curiosity, how would you stop them if allowed?

Also, as you know goat milk is the universal food for newborns, once word gets out, you may have a steady stream of people searching for fresh goat milk. I have saved a Clydesdale foal, a crea, pigs, puppies galore, kittens, and a baby camel.

My 2 cents. Just like with rabbits, the kits may or may not be as great as their lineage. So I vote for an adult preferably in milk. If not perhaps bred. The thing is why not get what you want. We all are on God's timeline. We don't know his plans. Enjoy the dream goat. Worst case scenario, it's...

I think dairy goats are the bomb diggity! I have 15 right now. However..... They are not pets. They have a job. Give me milk so I can make cheese, yogurt, ice cream, etc. How much milk do you need a day? Are you ready to milk Every Day? For me the answer is yes. Everyone should have a couple...

Teeny Tiny Teats are a concern unless you buy a milking machine.

You only see posts like that because people are seeking advice. In my newness of all this, (It will be 1 year on June 15th.) We have had 8 litters. Very few problems. None actually that weren't created by me.

I just finished deboning my first rabbit. It was messy, and nothing like the videos I watched. But I didn't cut myself. The end product was 2lbs. 12 oz. Of meat and 1 lb. of bone. But I didn't weigh the head, pelt or feet so I can't calculate bone to meat ratio. Now to try the canning part.
