This will be my 4th adventure into goats.  Spanish brush goats when the kids were babies, Nubian/Togg Myotonic crosses, Nigerians and Pygmy’s when we moved to the mountains, Boers when I was running it as a business and now registered Nigerian Dwarf’s to help with weeding.

After being so weary at the end of the meat goat adventure even I’m surprised that I would venture here again.  I obviously knew there was a chance I would return to goats as I kept all of my goat supplies.

It is because of my previous experience with goats that has caused me to venture back as I know what value they bring.  People say to me… “They really eat Poison Ivy?”  I say “Why, yes, they do…”

Here was one of my Boer does…

As someone who refuses to use chemical weed killer, I’m dying here.  Vinegar, while effective for small weeds, can’t handle our poison ivy load.

So here we are with 3 new babies…

 

The main project I need assistance with is the “hay barn” where a 1930’s barn collapsed years ago.  It will be our new goats permanent home when they get a little bigger.

The goat adventure begins again.
