Not any weirder than wool maggots My best friend from college manages sheep operations in the hills around our famous San Joaquin Valley and she is now moving into a commercial herd (NOT flock) of boer goats (when she called to tell me, I 'bout wet myself I laughed so hard)...so there! And no, this is not a flame; tongue in cheek maybe....
BTW, goat meat tastes better!

Yes it tells me you made a very intelligent decision.  Were you nutty when you had goats?

I guess I'm a goat-nut, too, but I did want to correct one perceived misconception, LOL! Only buck goats smell, and only when they are in rut -- the does don't stink at all.
And I like both sheep and goats, just don't have room for both right now!

I'm glad someone pointed out that female goats don't smell. I only have ladies, so I don't have to worry about buck odor.
Can't stand mutton, but recently helped an orphan lamb survive.... on goat milk!

We did that too! Last Easter, a neighbor of ours brought me a little lamb. Said he wasn't getting anything from his mama and wanted to know if I wanted to mess with it. I said sure.... First lamb I had ever seen even! I bottle fed her that day and the next. That night, one of our goats delivered a dead kid. Dh quickly snatched the little lamb and took it down to the stall where the goat was. Rubbed the placenta all over it and snuck it in with the goat. Low and behold.... they took to each other! That goat raised the lamb completely. However, we had to keep them separated from the other goats. They must have thought the lamb was ugly because it didn't look like a goat and they would try to beat it up.
The lamb grew faster than any of the goat kids and was just beautiful. When we sold her, she brought twice as much as the goat kids as well.

Civil society?! Civil society?! You calling all that mess out there "civil"?! Wouldn't it be great if we could pay to have ag ed all the way down to elementary (ok, homeschoolers do, you lucky dawgs) level. I think the best way to CIVILIZE people is to give them critters to tend and care for, especially goats
