Housing and Care of Goats
Goats require adequate land for grazing or foraging and some heavy-duty fencing, but other than that, raising goats is no more difficult than any other farm animal. Goats like to pee on their hay, so special feeders are needed to keep the hay off the ground to ensure they eat it. It’s essential to vary their feed to prevent them from getting bored and stop eating.
Obtain goats from conscientious breeders who practice good preventive healthcare. It is crucial to visit the breeder, observe the conditions the goats are kept in, and ask to see test results for diseases.
Are Goats High Maintenance?
Goats are adorable, quirky animals that can make great pets. While they do require more care and maintenance than some other domesticated animals, with proper facilities, a good diet, and attentive care, goats can thrive and be very rewarding pets.
Milking Goats and Affection
Milk goats are generally tamer, less destructive, and require milking once a day. Goats, when tamed, can be friendly and affectionate, showing their fondness by rubbing their head on your body.
