    Meat Goats

    Does anyone here raise goats on their property? Thinking about this for clearing brush and raising livestock. My property is 300 miles from home, wondering about how much care they need.

    Unless you can check them regularly I would not get goats that far away unless you have a really good watch dog or donkey

      I have goats. They are escape artists. That's too far away, unless you get some cheap ones you don't care about loosing. If you have neighbors at that property, they won't like you when your goats are eating their flowers and climbing on their vehicles. Good luck though, if you decide to go ahead with it.

          If you buy livestock 300 miles away from you need to hire someone to check on them.

            You'll find out how the coyote and bobcat population is.

              If you can pour water through the fence, a goat can get out.

                Goats are easy to raise and they eat anything








                BULL****!!!!!



                Goats are the biggest pain in the *** farm animals I have ever dealt with

                They get out better than Houdini
                They get parasites (worms) at the drop of a hat
                Unless you live on rock you have to trim their feet
                They are the perfect size for bobcats and coyotes to kill them off in a matter of weeks if you don't monitor them closely


                You do what you want to but I would bet you are sick of them before a week passes

                  Goats are always looking for an excuse to die. If they can't be checked often, don't waste your money.

                        My boys raise goats. Ours are registered so they put a lot of time and money into them.

                        Mainly what is said above is true. You will need excellent protection from predators. You will need excellent fences.

                        How big is the property you want to put them on?

                          Probably Poachers (Caberato eaters) and as said above..Goats are hardy animals otherwise

                              It was one of the best days of my life when I sold by goats. I had about 60 and they are a pain in the butt.
