I know most bar soaps were made with lye but there was a site and I can't remember off the top of my head where they were making goat's milk soap without it. Of course that type didn't have to be cured. I even bought some soap off of someone, it was Hannah's Hideaway or something along those...
Stromberg Plates? What are those? I think we are going to go with a kennel and an oversize dog house for the winter and then come spring/summer we will work on fencing in the side yard and building something that the chickens and goats can share. :)

Thanks for the information. Does anyone have any trouble with predators, coyotes, dogs, foxes etc going after their goats? If so, how do you keep them away?
I have a chance to buy two Nigerian dwarf goats ( a 2 yr doe and a 2 yr old buck). The doe is registered but has never been bred. The buck is intact and has been disbudded but not properly so his 'spurs' need fixing or whatever the terminology is for that.
