I would contact your local zoning officer and ask him. I am in western NY and live in an area zoned agriculture/residential. This means I can have as many livestock as I want without hassle. I believe the right to farm thing is more about legalities with lawsuits and such, but i don't know much...
He is home. We are in western NY and drove through 5 hours of near whiteout conditions to get home. He was worth it though, he is even better looking in person. I plan on breeding him to these two girls in the future.
Getting a Nigerian Buck this week. Hope he doesn't mind the 5 hour trip home. Its a long ride but I wanted a blue eyed buck with some flashiness to him and when I saw this guy I had to have him.

I have and 8x24 barn area for my goats. 16ft for the girls and 8ft for the boys. I have small pens 20ftx80ft for the boys and same for the girls. These pens will open up to a larger area once i finish getting the posts and fence up. I use 5ft no climp wrapped wire horse fence and treated posts...
Personally I think the stink is an individual goat thing. I have a couple bucks of both kinds I mentioned (fainters, nigerians) and i can honestly say that 1 fainter stinks more than the other and the same goes for the nigerians, although of my herd the nigerians smell less. My bucks are great...
I have nigerians and fainting goats. I honestly love both. The nigerians are lighter but also faster and jump higher. The fainters are slower and don't jump much at all but weigh a lot more. I have bucks, does and wethers of both and none of mine are aggressive, even in rut. If you spend time...
There is also the miniature silky fainting goats. I have regular fainters and nigerians but would love to get one of these guys some day.

If he was a purebred fainter he would most likely faint. At the least when startled or excited would get stiff back legs. I have 6 fainter and everyone faints, some more than others, but i have seen everyone go down. They all go stiff legged extremely easy and you would at least notice that.
