Hello! I'm looking for forums to talk with others with similar lifestyles as myself! This one seemed appropriate!

My friends and family think we are, well, strange for homesteading, but we love it!

My husband and I live on 120 acres (shared with my parents who live across the field) with our three children (ages 7, 3, and 1) , 2 dogs, 3 cats, 15 chickens, 1 guinea, 2 turkey's, and 1 goat. We have had chickens for about 10 years and just got our first goat this past weekend! We bought her from the local Amish and we have been milking her.

Hubby works full time as a sanitation worker/truck driver and I recently became a stay at home mom in January 2014.

I'm new to the goat thing and looking to connect with others for advice and support!

:welcome I hope you're planning to get a goat friend for your new addition. Goats do best with another goat buddy :cool:

Thank you! Yes, we are! This was a spur of the moment decision to bring her home! I'm looking at a different breed for our next goat, just not sure what.

Welcome from Vermont. Good luck with homesteading. I know exactly what you mean, my family thinks I am nuts!! I currently have 8 goats and 17 chickens.
