goats as pet

[dakota port]

i noticed folks around here are buying these little 1 foot tall goats(usually like 7 of them) and letting them graze in their land and they seem tame as heck.
i was thinking of buying one or two is there any thing i need to do special to get one or two of them like permits or forms, i have plenty of land for them and a ton of Cauchu vines around here

Just had to help my neighbor put them back in the pen yesterday. They can and will jump...

two goats, two 25ft small chains, 4 padlocks, 2 concrete blocks = no more lawn mowing with pretty crop circles
sounds like a plan to me

They do require vetinary maintenance and hoove trimming. Definately not as easy as a dog, if it is male get it fixed or it will stink to high heaven when in heat.

thats one of the reasons i'm thinking about buying some goats, with the price of gas today, they would prob be cheaper then the lawn mower and the area the neighbors keep them in is so nicely trimmed and when i see the neighbor with them the goats are being petted like dogs and happy as can be

Goats are cool i have 18 of them on 8 acres and you can pretty much take care of them yourself go to Tractor supply to get there shots and do it yourself . And fixing them is easy just put a rubber band around the ole ballbag and it will fall off. Also unlike a lawnmower if you get pissed at it you can eat,em .MMMMM Goat on a rotessoriee

This would explain the recent string of goat attacks in the news. Bet they wish they had thumbs (or were as flexible as dogs).
