Good advice, thank you! You're in the valley? I'm hanging on to the east side of the Blue Ridge :)

Thanks for the replies. I'm not raising the goats for meat or milk, I'm keeping them because they're thinning out the jungle that is my back couple of acres. But, the kids have been sold, so they're no longer with their mamas. Seemed like it was okay to do...they didn't seem to nurse much...
