what all

[goat^farmer]

what all do you raise with yours goats in livestock

[Loda Farm]

I have Sebastopol Geese, Muscovy ducks, and one Royal palm Turkey, and when not laying, they all run together. Currently the ducks and geese are seperated as they lay and set.

I run sheep and goats together, but I'm careful to ensure that they both get what they need in the way of separate nutrition.

more goats. ;-)

[devdragon33]

We have a horse and 1 Cow (He isnt in there anymore cause he is mean now) but normally we run bottle calves with our goats.

[dosthouhavemilk]

We have 45 head of Jerseys and Jersey/Norwegian Red crosses (dairy cattle). They intermingle sometimes out in the field and more than one calf has been raised in the goat pens for a couple of weeks...

How do you keep the goats from butting other animals? I tried to run my pigs with my goats but the goats would come up and ram them every time they got near the pigs. The pigs werent even looking at them but were trying to get to the feed area. The goats had their own area but they wouldn't let the pigs do anything and I feared bruised bacon so I had to seperate them

[LittleRedHen]

btw my goats are two pygmy does and really, it was only the older goat who did it (shes 4) They run with the chickens now and they are fine with them.

The only animals I breed are goats. I also have neutered and spayed cats and dogs.

[ozark_jewels]

Turkeys, ducks and chickens roam in and out of the goat pastures and pens. Our dogs and cats of course have access to it all. The cows/calves, 1 horse and all the goat milk herd pasture/browse together most of the time. They get along very well.
Now, the cows are blocked out of the goat barn because running large animals with small animals in *enclosed spaces* is just asking for trouble.

Here are some pictures of the multi-species grazing thats done here.





And though Lacey isn't in those pictures, she was over near the woods watching over all.

I would personability never put goats with pigs. Pigs will eat them.

45 goats 2 horses 6 hens 2 great pyrs on one ten acre pasture. Feeding time is fun :baby04:

I suppose they might if they were really hungry and they were full grown. HOwever mine are only 3 months old and are about 3-4 inches shorter than the goats. The goats posed the threat and not my pigs.
