milk, bucks and distance...a ?

I WISH there was a law about idiots keeping pets! Seriously though...out here we are "county" not "city" and as such no one really cares...everyone just does as they please and IN GENERAL I'm cool with that myself (down the road there was a guy with an elephant at one point, don't know if it's still there and emus in one yard a few miles away)...except these people that keep getting things that stink, destroy the property and in general don't tend to live very long or do very well aggravate me when it begins to affect me need a few laws put in place over their place....LOL though about your buck! If these ever pee ON me and not just near me the only thing I have to say is CABRITO TACOS!

YUM! Goat really is good meat.....

 

[GrowURown]

Even stinky bucky meat? I dunno about that one...

There is a market here for intact bucks, horns and all, among a couple of ethnic populations....more in the spring, though.

we took our stinky buck in and as long as you get it all ground its fine. I say that not cause of the smell but he was older and tough. now if you have butchers that don't know what they are doing ei (using same knife for skinning and slicing) you'll get bucky.

My buck wasn't yet a year old but built up a fine stink. Or so I was told, it never really bothered me. Sure it smells like pee, but it wasn't strong enough to knock me in the face or anything. The rest of my family however...

He tastes strong though. We had meat from a doe before we got my current goats (she broke her leg and had to be put down. Might as well get something tasty out of it I guess) and it was incredibly mild and delicious. I sort of like the stronger flavor though, it's not at all like pee flavor. Just more concentrated... "goat".

LOL...either way we wouldn't get to eat...unless we were quick enough to hide the evidence...he's not "ours" but I'll take him out if I catch him in my yard just like the last stink thing they had (a chicken eating dog!) Course, what am I saying...their hens moved into our coop and we eat their eggs...in fact we actually do SELL those eggs BACK to the neighbor...so this COULD work out after all!

 

[freemotion]

You sell the eggs back.......do they know you have their hens????

Some places have laws about keeping bucks

Seriously? Where could I find information about this? This is one thing I've never heard about.

Go to your local town hall, they will have all the laws on the books. I live in a suburban area so I had to research each house we looked at when we bought this one. In this area, it depends on zoning and on how many acres you have.
