Believe it or not, I'm a little envious :rolleyes:I want to have 9 goats, about to double too! :celebrate

LOL- yeah... all that is great when they are little!
So far we are keeping 9 and may end up with 3-5 more... I am trying to block out the realization of future hoof trimming, vaccinating, feeding, breeding, kidding, milking...

I am going to stay in my happy place and think of them as forever kids.

Note- this is the denial stage of goat addicts.

Guys, guys. I had three. One kidded this month so I have five. Another is due next week. I'm selling one of my does and all or all but one of the babies depending on if I get a doe I can't resist. So, I'll be back at three or less. See. I'm good.

All the rest of the goats around here are my daughters. :p Once I tally them up maybe I should have her post. Be back in a few hours...

I can say that I'm currently milking 6 every morning and will be milking 9 for at least a few weeks.

I've resisted this thread for a long, long time...but it's time to face reality. I am an addict. A goat addict. Probably THE goat addict of all times.

A few weeks ago I was down to 25 goats. I've had 7 babies born since then (lost one) and I believe I've got 8 more does due between now and the first week of May. :th

That's all I've got to say on this subject and it's the one and only time I will EVER admit it.

@frustratedearthmother you may be THE goat addict but I have the addiction so bad that I had to quit my job and start a dairy just so I could justify owning more goats. I am looking at buying more land too. I have 34 kids out there right now and 30+ does. I sold a doe and two kids...so am I in recovery?

This has all been in 7.5 years..
