I love goats. IF we ever get any property out of town it is gonna basically be BIG petting zoo. Dogs, cats, pigs, goats, horses, donkeys.......Well....and a really nice shooting range. LOL.

Are they mean, and can they eat the grass on a regular lawn? I am thinking that a goat might be thebest lawn mower!

Need a lawnmower, get some sheep ... LOL

Oh yeah, then you will get a pot bellied pig for the "bacon"

You know it ... and a couple of those dwarf cattle for beef. A lot easier to butcher than a full grown steer.

My experience with goats is limited. My father-in-law had a milk goat years ago. The biggest problem that I had with them was that they were ALWAYS up on top of the vehicles.
I will say one good thing for milk goats, though. They are easier to milk than cows.

Oh, wait.....

Boy, ain't that the truth. And if there is a dime-sized hole anywhere in the fence they WILL get through it. LOL

Nothing more fun that watching a bunch of babies play "King of the Hill" on top of a big old bale of hay though! I used to pull up a lawn chair and sit in the shade of the barn with a cold beer. Better entertainment cannot be found anywhere!! LOL

Haha! We might be related back there somewhere ... you are gonna need a steer or two also. Oh, and some chickens and some rabbits ... Not to mention a few quail, ducks, pheasants, geese, guinea hens ... Poor GC ... He is gonna spend his retirement days working harder than he ever did when he was gainfully employed.

Cute! Are you keeping all of them?

The three of these we will keep. I am sure as kidding season wraps up there will be a few that have to find new homes. I can only buy so much hay.

That is pretty much what we got going here. Had a horse and sold it. Got the rabbits, dogs, and cat. Getting the birds when the weather warms up. The only thing is I can buy bacon alot cheaper than raising it myself right now.
