Chillin' with the herd
Hi! I'm new to the site, and found it by frantically searching for cheap goat projects for ideas for my upcoming farm.
To get a feel for the questions im going to be asking and such(since im going to be asking a lot xD), I live in Missouri, in complete no where from all sides right next to a high way, and I'm still in high school, a freshmen actually. I got into wanting to be a goat farmer because of the FFA, which I was first going to do cows, but decided against it because Cows are giant animals that could injure me a lot more than a disbudded goat could.
The goats I'm planning on breeding, milking and raising are Nigerian Dwarfs, and i'm planning on getting 2 or 3 to start with. I currently don't have goats, but I do care for my grandparents' horses whom live right behind my home, and I breed my loyal dog, Penny to get some money as well. I decided to join this site because i'd thought what better way to get advice since I know absolutely no one who owns and breeds goats then go online to find some.

There are quite a few "younger" "farmers" on the site that have everything from rabbits and fish to horses, cows, just you name it, and you'll find it represented here someplace... 
We do have a very active goat community on here and there's a wealth of information, experience, knowledge and what-all posted in the various goat threads. I hope you'll take some time and browse (get it? browse?) around the site and make yourself right at home! If you have questions, by all means post them and you'll generally have some answers or at least feedback within a very short period of time. Great to have you with us!
I went to MO one time. I live in WV though. Anyway, feel free to post any and all questions you may have.
