I don't really have a purpose for my goats....YET! I'm hoping to get more into dairy eventually, and right now I'm getting my wether, Hank, into the Visiting Pet Program. So I guess right now their purpose is to eat up my paycheck, and keep my life interesting and enjoyable!:pop

I got into goats this past summer... I was given a 1 month old Boer, bought a 3 month old Boer mix so she would have a friend. Then in Sept. I bought my 2 Kinder does from my friend who needed to sell them, they both had a kid on em, I sold them... them months later my neighbor got 1 buck & 3 Nubian does... now I have one of their 12 day old bucklings (Ringo)... my 2 Kinder does are due to kid in May. I got into goats for the milk..... I've been drinkin the their milk since Sept. now, learned to make farmer cheese, yogurt, ice cream. I love having goats, they are so fun to watch.

Sure.. they keep the blackberry bushes off my fence but that wasnt an issue before.


I hope to get a good milker in the future. My kids LOVE milk but cant digest cows milk.
One of these days I hope to make it up to the feed store that sells raw goats milk (pet quality of course :rolleyes:) and let them try it to see if they handle it better
