Good thread you guys
Not going to pretend to know anywhere near as much as Vigilguy, but growing up we always had a few goats around. My opinion, goats get a bad rep.
We had probably a 20x30 pen at night and a few acres fenced off for them during the day, but often times they ran loose. Never were on the cars and didn't bother anything around the house.
They'd run up onto the deck if one of the dogs chased them.
I had a few more later on in my teens, don't ever remember thinking of them as work to have around. They'd just follow us as we did the other chores, mainly horse related.
