Goat for beginners

[ksalvagno]

Take your time looking and then you can be sure to get the right breed for you. Keep in mind with Angoras that they have to be sheared once a year.

If I had someone who could use the wool, they'd be a good choice. My husband doesn't want an animal that doesn't do it's part, so to speak. He wants it to do something...eggs, meat, milk...something. We get eggs from our chickens, at some point we will raise them for meat; goats would have to contribute something too.

I've heard LaManchas are nice, but I'm sorry...their weird faces just freak me out.

Ditto!

The heck you say? Tell me you couldn't love this face... http://i692.photobucket.com/albums/vv282/Dani_Girl0517/Buffy2.jpg

Well I like 'em anyway! Teeheehee

Yeah, but isn't something missing? OK, I revise my previous opinion. Seriously cute face, freaky ears.

Honestly, looking at them everyday you get used to them

I'm getting Nigerian Dwarf babies in the summer! Problem is they are like potato chips......just can't stop once the bag is open!

Just had someone recently see our goats & say "how weird they have no horns, they look weird"..........they couldn't even place 'what' was "weird" about them, lol. Then noticed it wasn't missing horns that made them look odd, it was their missing ears! Our one LaMancha is our greeting committee, so she's quick to say "Hello". & show off her Non-ears!
