Also the taste of milk can be affected by what the goat eats...example give them onions or garlic and you probably aren't going to like the milk taste.

Got It! I won't feed them onions or garlic. Is alfalfa good?

Yep, Alfalfa is good

I mentioned onions and garlic cause they can grown wild in your field...

If you want mowers and pets, try sheep!

If you did not know this goats cannot just eat anything...there are alot of poisionous plants/trees etc that will kill them....

Do you homework on what you have on your pasture and surrounding area and what is poisionous to goats. Here is a list you can look through and there are some not listed.

As others said they are a browing animal not grazers....so forget about lawn mowing with them. They are just not interested it in.

I have Toggenbergs which are a larger breed of dairy goats. But if you are getting them just for pets. I would think about getting a smaller breed and stay away from bucks..make sure the bucks are wethered.

You really only want to keep a buck if your gonna breed. And thats a whole other subject!! LOL!!!

I would just look around and see what you like!!! Good luck goats are alot of fun!!
