We boarded our goats with a friend for the first couple of months after we bought them. We paid her on a weekly basis for their room and board, visited on weekends and helped muck pens.

Also, goats loooove to live in forested areas... just saying
I've considered goats so many times, but I've heard they'll eat everything and anything and my trees and bark aren't excluded. Then all of a sudden I'll be having goat samosa and goat Roti for dinner.

Love Roti, but I usually get vegetarian ones. Sam with Samosa. I'm Scared of meat at small places like you would normally order them from.
In truth, I haven't ever had goat.
