Hey from Alabama!

[happy acres]

I'm from Haleyville, Alabama. Hoping to get some dairy goats soon, I'm trying to get all my information first. I have chickens and ducks right now. I've raised pigs in the past. Any advice would be welcome.

Any advice for a novice?

Concerning what?

I'm looking forward to getting my first goats. Are rabbits considered a "herd " animal? I also want to get some more pigs. I've never raised goats, and I keep hearing conflicting information.

Welcome.
You will enjoy dairy goats.
We sure do.

Welcome to BYH! No advice from me about goats...we raise hair sheep here.

What's a hair sheep?

I raise Berkshire, Red Wattle and Spot pigs, with a few crossed up litters here and there. I have heard rabbits called both flocks and herds, I could google the answer but I will let someone with more knowledge on the subject take that one. I raise goats too. I like a nice Nubian x Alpine cross. They have a good frame, make really good mommas and their milk makes really good cheese.
