was taking the $20 my in-laws sent to the boys and buying four goats with it. The first batch of kids died except for one blue billy. We neutered him and he grew up to provide some fine meals. The rest we let reproduce, had them in with a friend's flock so reproduction came naturally. After that first batch we didn't lose any more and when we sold them two years later we netted over $200. That made a nice little savings account for them and lasted way better than any toy or other typical birthday purchase.
I always wanted milk goats, but where we were there were none so meat goats it was. No place to keep them now that we live in the concrete jungle.
Thanks for sharing the pics. Sure do miss having livestock around.

what do you do with the goats? You don't raise them to eat
