Gardens and Chickens...and Goats? Oh My!

[fuzzi]

I'm fuzzi, from eastern NC. I have a small yard with gardens and bird feeders and ponds (100 gallon each). A couple years ago I got back into chickens after a 30 year hiatus.

But I want goats.

I got to know goats a little, back when my children were small, at a friend's mini-farm. I milked her Nubian.

This photo was taken at Goat Milk Stuff in Indiana. We've stopped there twice while on vacation.

And now that I am close to retirement and will be at home more, I can start planning for a couple goats.

I'm here by way of BYC, and am hoping for as wonderful an experience here as I've had there.

I added a more appropriate photo for my avatar.

They're not mine, I am goatless, but hopefully in the next few months I can add my own picture.

The photo is of my first goat acquaintances, from about 1989. My daughter's friend lived with her mom on a mini farm. I can't recall their names but I got to milk the Nubian.

Welcome from East Texas. I was a member first of BYC, then TEG, SS and then BYH. I studied goats and sheep, finally settling on hair sheep. I raise on Katahdin hair sheep. Dreams do come true!
