So we are now embarking on a new journey.....we have become goat farmers. It started out as a group of only two, but quickly has grown into a herd of 32+. Add to that the the llama, whose name happens to be Salami, and you have quite the group!
I grew up around animals my entire life, getting my first goat for my 10th birthday, so I am loving every minute of this.
We have mostly Boer and Boer-cross does with the exception of our Nubian momma, who I intend to milk, and our two Kiko bucks. Our plan is to raise Kiko/Boer mix for a superior meat goat.
Today the girls got some firsthand training on how to tag goats and trim their hooves;-)
They both worked like champs helping daddy. All 30+ goats tagged and trimmed. Good thing they got some training in because 90% of or does are due to kid in the next few months;-)
