I wish I could keep goats here. I've always had a love of the little buggers, even the ornery ones.
Those eyes are part of that, though it's more the personality. I wish you and yours all the joy life can bring you
These are Nigerian Dwarf Goats. They're almost 2 years old and about fully grown now. You can get wethers* for pretty cheap and as far as I'm telling people, they are pets, not livestock. No harder to care for than dogs, maybe easier. And you get top notch fertilizer to boot. We live near a pretty big city, so suburbs but not track home style suburbs. Small yards, close neighbors. The biggest problem was finding a source of proper hay. But once we worked out getting and storing that, its been a blast.
*wethers are boy goats that have been "fixed". Generally, goats that aren't handsome enoughbor show worthy get wethered and sold cheap.
