    Geoff Lawton had a great video on using goats to pasture in brush and wooded areas to make smaller trees and limbs ready to be cut for rocket stove fuel, so as long as you have an area that you want either controlled or browsed, goats can be alike brush hogs that give you milk and meat^^.

    Goats are fantastic if you are over run with brush and invasive weeds. Like everything education with a good dose common sense.

    This was very helpful.....the one that made me pause for concern was about the breeding in order to get milk. I use goat milk soaked cracked corn to finish off my meat chickens but it is getting harder to find at a good price for the amount that I need; that is why I am thinking of getting two goats.

      I’m researching to set up a similar use. Have you expanded to add the milk goats?

    It’s 3 o clock in the morning, I already have cats, and dogs, I just took my newest puppy out for a walk, and I realize now that I need boa constrictors, an African bullfrog, a large tropical fish tank , a beehive, and two of these things. And an Argentinian Tegu just to be safe.

    Great video! I jad read that Japanese knowledge helps milk production, we have it unfortunately and even into property next to us. Any info or tips on that plant by chance?

    So sheep are actually a better choice (lower maintenance) for a small hobby farm that wants primarily milk and secondarily fiber?

    My buck is a sweet and nice and when he's not he stays out of your way. Not sure what you mean by the downside of having a book?? Maybe I just got lucky....

      Hi. Why not try chamomile to give to your goat. Chamomile normally settles a problem stomach...

    Don’t play with young males
    They can really hurt you when you’re not looking and you could break bones and cuts
    There not pets if they have horns
