Rest peacefully my soulmate, I'll love you forever.

Mine are mainly for milking but they are so affectionate that they fall into the pet catagory too! My first goats were for brush control but they weren't good for much else so I sold them to someone else who had more brush control problems than I did. I had also gotten my dairy does and they did not get along too well with the original crew. The dairy does were bottle fed when they were young and are the sweetest things especially compared to the heathens I had before.

I just plain love the silly things. Way back in the 70's I was involved in the whole "back-to-the-land" Mother Earth News movement. My friends had some sorry little stunted dairy goats. I bought them and have loved goats ever since that day. I had dairygoats for many years, and even took them to shows. Now I have Boer goats, and yes, I eat goat meat. I have one bottle baby, half Boer and half Nubian that I hope to milk when she grows up.
Her dam was the last of the Nubians. I can't imagine life without my twirling, leaping ballarina baby goats.

Mine are mostly for milk and meat. They are good at keeping the brush down, and I hope to sell/trade some kids next year.

We were only given one choice on the poll so I picked household production. I also have them for more reasons than that. They eat the knapweed, I show them and all animals around here are pets. I also sell the wethers for meat.

Oh yeah, I'm with Jim S

Some days I think I have them to keep my sanity, some days I think it's because I'm insane....
