I'm afraid I've made a terrible decision and now have to make another terrible decision. I adopted 2 goats last month, thought it out... I have the room for them, the time to care for them & the money to feed them, they needed a home and goats are cute and comical, right?
. I have two wonderful pigs (farm pigs but not for food) that are absolute joys to have around. They are smart & clean and very well mannered... then came the goats... I don't know what I was thinking. PLEASE don't take offense but I find them to be horrid creatures, and I think my pigs do too! My pigs shed was nice and clean and dry... they kept it so clean that I would often go and lie in there with them for some good old fashion pig snuggles. The goats have turned it into a disgusting toilet area that the pigs don't even want to go in there now let alone sleep in there. With just the pigs, all I had to do was refresh the straw a few times a week and strip it maybe once or twice a month. Because the goats crap and piss in there I have to strip in 2-3 x a week. Maybe I wouldn't mind it so if I even enjoyed the presence..but I don't! I find them rude, stubborn, willful and downright evil at times. I made a mistake, I am not a goat person
... if you live in or near Orange County NY and would like 2 - 1 year old does, a Pygmy & a Boer cross please contact me.
but then i hated goats we had. but now those goats are gone and i have some of my own and i love them! 
alot of it depends on the person and the goat. if someone pulled up right now with all the goats we had then and asked if i wanted them- free of charge- i wouldnt do it. thats how much i still hate those goats. my dad would take them but i wouldnt. they were good milkers though, i'll give them that.
