Red pill me on goats /out/
My family kept one or two when I was young, and I remember them being a huge pain in the ass as far as keeping them out of flowers and other plants.
We are looking to keep a few for milk and meet.
Any advice is appreciated.
Husbandry, different breeds, how to make goat cheese, tricks for keeping them penned in, anything.
I know they are Satan incarnate

The males stink of musk and can be belligerent.
Keep the females in line and the males will follow.
They will try to eat everything, but everything isn't good for them.
They need more than grass to eat, they prefer everything else, grass is their last resort food.
They are amazing escape artists, fence well.
They can climb just about anything including a fence or your car/truck/house/barn/trees.
They are super curious about anything and everything.
They love attention.
They will playfully or seriously headbutt you at any moment you let down your guard.
You need a centrifuge separator to separate the naturally homogeneous milk into cream and such (google "goat milk cream separator" but also check out this link for not using one to separate the cream http://www.motherearthnews.com/homesteading-and-livestock/how-to-make-goat-milk-butter-zmaz78jazbur.aspx ).
Don't use "goat fencing" with the large holes, they just get their heads stuck all the time.
Use a stick or rod on goat horns to stop them from walking into places that get their horns stuck (like through goat fencing).

Thanks for the input. Any advice on goat proofing the fencing? Maybe a curve back to the inside of the fence at the top?

Having it lean towards the goats will prevent them from climbing it. Electric is the best option though.

Cats touch new things with their nose. Having it a nose level ensures they get a face full of ZAP. I've seen them do it all the time around my garden. You'll never see a cat run faster.

Lifelong farmer here, this is the most retarded thing I have ever seen. A single hotwire will not contain a single bull, let alone a herd. Evwn on dairy farms where the cows are as docile as it gets we still use at least three wires. More proof /out/ doesn't go out.

The electric wire is psychological. If it isn't grounded properly or at the proper high voltage for the animal you are containing, it won't work. Dry weather also plays a part in it not working due to less ground contact for the grounding rods.

That is funny, Id like to see one wire, no matter how high the voltage is stop a pair of fighting bulls, a determined cow trying to get to her calf or even a calf going for a wander sliding underneath

How many windows do you lick a day? Build an enclosure/fenced off area for them you retard. It's not difficult to take care of goats, just leave them in the yard and make sure they have water.

my grandmother had goats
they are cute as fuck, but also annoying as fuck.
getting them to stay in a pen is a pain in the dick because they are so inquisitive/"smart" that they quickly figure out how to get out
sometimes having a dog would help, but mostly theyd just befriend it and they would just run of and play, then my grandmother slowly went nuts and started keeping the goats indoors, goatshit in the floorboards, imbroided bible quotes on the walls, man it became a mess

A pair of fighting bulls? What can you use to stop them? I've seen them break out of the yards through 2"x8" boards. Snapped them like matchwood when they got going.

That said, outside my window right now is a single hot-wire that's keeping the yearlings in quite nicely thank you.

Funny thing is, I have seen a goat break up fighting bulls repeatedly. They probably couldn't handle the smell.

Are you a fucking retard? Who puts 2 bulls in together? A fucking moron that is who.

In all my 30 years of farming I've never once had a calf slip under 1 strand of wire. The fences are just over 11,000 volts. It literally knocks out grown men like a stun gun to the neck.

It is like you want your fence charger to be rendered impotent. Heavy gauge, high tension wire or go home.

In NZ, its common practise to put seven bulls at least in with each herd which usually consists of 300 or so cows after AIing. Ive seen these bulls fight each other through three or four fenves and through ponds. Hell, over the summer our top bull was killed fighting while in the herd. Thats the way we do it here.

So, basically willful animal abuse for nothing other than simple bragging rights on 4chan.

This just proves that stupidity infects all lands, peoples, and vocations.

Yep. They're the friendliest little animals. When I call out to them they go ape shit and sprint for me to try to lick my face. I've even taken them on walks.

Check out the Kinder breed. It's a small dual purpose goat that can be bred any time of the year. Which is handy when you only have a few goats.
