I will be adding fiber goats to our farm next year, and I don't plan on disbudding. They do serve a purpose. My dairy goats started as rescues, and they all came with horns. We looked into disbudding when our does were pregnant, and that sealed our decision for us. I would never be able to...

I was just bragging today how my goats are better behaved than my dogs. I love my goats, they are the best. I have a different bond with each one, as they all have their own little personality. My milker always stops eating midway through our morning milking just to crane her head around and...
