I was talking with my neighbor last night about cleaning up the wooded area behind our properties. He owns it, but he's a fantastic neighbor and I was helping him plan which trees to take out. He was lamenting the profusion of poison ivy and I mentioned that if I stayed in this house much longer I was planning to talk to him about leasing this one acre (plus one "perch", google it, it's interesting) to run a small group of dairy goats. He just about fell all over himself telling me what a great idea that was. And then he kept bringing them up about every ten minutes or so. (Mike and I can talk for a LONG time.)
Sooooo, maybe I'll start planning for a small herd next spring. Something on the order of 2 or 3 does and maybe a wether for the freezer. Better yet, a freshened doe or two.
Yep, could be in trouble here.
Started with chickens last month, now possibly goats, where does it stop?
