I'll be using my new L2510 with a PH digger to put in some new fencing. Now this is tractor related...lol.
I'm thinking about getting a couple of those little Nubian type goats. I use to raise Paso Fino horses and kept 3 or so most of the time for the kids and me to ride. Wife never did like riding even though they were about the smoothest riding type horse around with their gated stride. So I know some about keeping animals, use to even have a brush goat back then and that thing was ornery and we could not keep it inside an electric fence. Now, back to the goats. anyone on here ever have these type of goats (smaller and nicer disposition to handle for milking ect)? I would like some real world advice before doing something like this. Wife and I still work so the goats would be something to have to take care of besides working. Is it worth it for milk/meat? I don't want to fool with cows as I've had a disc removed out of my lower back and have a titanium plate in my neck. Thanks, Gary
