They just have that option that others may not. Yes but doing routine maintenance keeps it in check. Unless you have very rocky ground all goats will need to have hooves trimmed periodically or they will suffer lameness. That’s why I prefer the smaller breed. Easier to catch and manhandle a #60 goat than #150 one Yes but I would guess they have more of a personality as a cow. Just I guess I really don’t know. Mine are kind of like leaf/weed eating dogs and ready for a human interaction most all the time You are right about that. I always tell folks that good fences are a must. Not so much to keep the goats in but to keep predators and your neighbors dog out.</blockquote>
