    Next to walking into a hovel filled with turbaned rag head sand people, . . . I can think of only one thing more disgustingly smelly: a goat habitat.

    Best wishes, . . . enjoy your olfactory experiences of the next few weeks, . . . by summer, . . . they will be burned out.

    May God bless,
    Dwight

    Don't try to milk male goats. The goats will love it but it won't turn out well at all!

    I was going to say something and you beat me to it
    It happened before, it can happen again.
    It happened there, it can happen here.
    It happened to that person, it can happen to you.

    I hate goats. They are good on a spit tho. Loved the Gyros from the Greek place I used to go to in Germany.
    Goat babies are adorable. Billy goats are disgusting and mean.
    Have fun!

    I suspect walking outside on a beautiful sun kissed morning with the family to feed and milk the goats only to find their entrails been devoured by a bobcat or a couple of coyotes will not make for the perfect Hallmark moment...
    Always good advice Slip but yes I do have it taken care of. They'll be sleeping in a predator proof barn at night and any time we are not at home. Other than that Mr. 357 will regulate if need be.

    Nigerian dwarf goats are a combination purpose goat. Milk and meat. They make good pets, especially if they were bottle babies. Run them on grass, hay, and water.
    We're down to a dozen for the winter, but the billy is working on this year's production.
    These are some of the young ones.

    And chickens. You need chickens.
    I fear the nation I loved may be gone. The best I hope for now is to die with honor in the coming civil war, and that my grandchildren be spared the pain of a tyrannical government.
